Structured and Specialty Finance Consulting

Our structured and specialty finance consulting services are designed for precision and effectiveness.

Our structured and specialty finance consulting services are driven by seasoned deal execution consultants with residential investment banking, insurance, and accounting backgrounds.  We focus on the full spectrum, covering ABS, CLO, RMBS, TruPS, CMBS, and CDO.  Our teams leverage their extensive knowledge and experience in modeling, structuring, providing due diligence, negotiating, and successfully executing on structured and specialty finance products.  We follow a detailed framework to analyze, value, and risk-mitigate underlying collateral backing transactions.  Also, whether we are dealing with high yield bonds, leveraged loans, mortgages, or off-the-run assets, we will assess the product thoroughly to provide an accurate risk and ROI assessment.  In addition, our structured and specialty finance group works collaboratively with the restructuring/turnaround, risk management, and M&A practice areas within NMS to provide this array of services.
