Mortgage Capital Markets Advisory, Interim Leadership & Execution Support
Practical senior-level guidance for lenders, financial institutions, technology companies, and executive teams.
About
Regehr Capital Markets Advisory provides experienced, practical support to mortgage lenders, financial institutions, technology companies, and executive teams facing complex decisions, operational problems, leadership gaps, or periods of market disruption.
Our perspective is grounded in more than 20 years of mortgage capital-markets experience across pipeline risk management, hedging, pricing, liquidity, secondary-market execution, investor strategy, and capital-markets operations. This includes oversight of mortgage pipelines ranging from approximately $1 billion to $2 billion and more than $100 billion in cumulative securities and hedge activity.
We understand how pricing, hedging, liquidity, technology, controls, and execution are supposed to work together—and how quickly problems develop when they do not. Our objective is not to produce a generic consulting report. We identify the real issue, explain it clearly, and help the organization implement a practical solution.
Engagements may include focused advisory, operational assessments, interim or fractional leadership, mortgage-technology evaluation, and support during special situations.
Our experience spans the global financial crisis, COVID-era volatility, major interest-rate shifts, merger integration, rapid production growth, and an FDIC-directed institutional wind-down.
Regehr Capital Markets Advisory is also the publisher of Project Mortgage: The Life of a Mortgage — A First Principles Guide, a practical explanation of the mortgage system from origination through capital-markets execution.
