Expertise

Two mandates: pricing a portfolio, and monitoring it afterwards.

The work divides at closing. Before a transaction, the question is what the portfolio is worth and what a buyer can afford to pay. After a transaction, the question is whether cash is arriving in the amounts and on the timetable the price assumed.

01

02

Portfolio Monitoring & Recovery Strategy

Is the portfolio performing against underwriting?

Following acquisition, we monitor expected versus actual recoveries and help coordinate the workstreams that affect portfolio performance.

Capabilities

  • Exposure-level recovery strategies
  • Expected-versus-actual monitoring
  • Recovery forecast updates
  • Restructuring analysis
  • Settlement evaluation
  • Servicer monitoring
  • Legal-workstream coordination
  • Collateral monitoring
  • REO monitoring
  • Valuer and broker coordination
  • Cash collection monitoring
  • Portfolio reporting
  • Updated return forecasts

Scope

We are not positioned as a mass-market collection call centre. Our role is to help the investor monitor the portfolio, assess available recovery options and coordinate the relevant financial, legal and operational specialists.

How the two connect

The model built to price a portfolio becomes the benchmark used to monitor it. The same segmentation, the same recovery assumptions and the same cost lines carry forward, so a shortfall can be attributed to a specific assumption rather than to the portfolio as a whole. Investors who acquire portfolios repeatedly get most of their improvement from this feedback, not from the next model.
