About Us

Our Firm

RangeMark is an advisory, credit risk management and capital markets firm specializing in structured finance assets from the traditional to the most complex. Our team of industry-leading experts serves a broad range of fixed income market participants facing unprecedented challenges in today’s financial environment. We have extensive experience in credit analysis, risk assessment, structuring, valuation, investment management, and loss mitigation as well as quantitative and analytical expertise.

The origin of our name comes from a range marker, a reference point for navigation. The alignment of two markers guides ships through changing currents and tides, difficult passageways and areas of poor visibility. The mandate of RangeMark Financial Services is to align our knowledge with our clients’ needs, be it for advisory, investment management or capital markets solutions. We bring our clients perceptive insights and market-leading quantitative and qualitative tools, enabling them to steer a course in times of uncertainty and evolving market dynamics.

Our Story

RangeMark's story began in 2006 when a group of experienced capital markets players set out to form a leveraged credit asset management business. From its launch in January 2007, their firm, NSM Capital Management, developed and utilized robust credit analytical tools. In the first months of 2007, the firm made significant additional human capital and financial investments into next-generation loan-level analytical systems.

Deploying these tools helped the principals determine that asset market prices had significantly exceeded their intrinsic values, and the decision was made to divest their holdings in mortgage credit in May 2007. The credit markets collapsed in July 2007.

In August 2007, NSM shifted its attention to providing consultative, advisory services through its Structured Credit Solutions unit with the intention of helping investors, particularly ratings-reliant investors, better understand the risk in their portfolios. It completed more than 30 engagements with a variety of firms and won a government contract in the fall of 2008.

In 2009, the firm rebranded itself as RangeMark while continuing to provide clients with unusually perceptive insight into today’s fixed income market.

We are excited about our future.
