Background

PIR Capital LLC was established to rectify some of the systemic problems within the financial services industry. Poor underwriting coupled with exception approvals on already lenient guidelines, add sufficient portions of conflicts of interest between master servicers and originators, fold in trustees following stringent interpretations of their roles and nationwide home price depreciation and investors have created a recipe for disaster.


Our team combines capital markets, fixed income, treasury and forensic auditing techniques together to provide results measured in direct loss mitigation and recovery.


What's wrong with today's surveillance?

Surveillance has traditionally been based on fundamental principals that failed to protect investors. Over-reliance on rating agencies, misinterpretations of trustee roles, and the primary historical role of surveillance reporting brought us to where we are today. The surveillance role was built around passive reporting and monitoring statistics. In today's market an evolutionary shift has taken place within the securities surveillance arena. This shift moves away from solely reporting and targets loss mitigation and recovery.
