Services

Kenora Advisors brings practitioner-level expertise to the full spectrum of mortgage servicing — from valuing and transacting servicing rights to building more efficient platforms and extracting intelligence from agency data. We work directly with decision-makers at every stage of the capital stack.

MSR Valuation & Brokerage Advisory

Mortgage servicing rights are among the most complex, model-sensitive assets in fixed income. Kenora provides independent valuation, market intelligence, and transaction advisory for buyers and sellers of agency and non-agency MSRs — without the conflicts of a broker-dealer or servicer platform.

We work with you on:

•       Independent mark-to-market and fair value opinions for bulk and flow MSR portfolios

•       Buy-side and sell-side transaction structuring, pricing, and counterparty negotiation

•       Portfolio WAC, convexity, and recapture analysis to optimize long-term return profiles

•       Subservicer selection, due diligence, and champion/challenger evaluation

•       GSE engagement strategy for transfer approvals, capacity planning, and servicer performance

Management Consulting

Mortgage servicers and investors face relentless pressure on cost, compliance, and technology. Kenora provides objective, hands-on advisory to help clients make better decisions and execute with precision — whether you are building a platform, evaluating an acquisition, or optimizing an existing operation.

We work with you on:

•       Servicing platform assessment and cost optimization across vendor, technology, and staffing spend

•       MSR investment strategy, portfolio construction, and return attribution

•       Acquisition due diligence and post-close integration planning for servicing platforms

•       Operational design for new servicing entrants and investors building oversight infrastructure

•       Board and executive advisory on MSR strategy, capital allocation, and regulatory positioning

Agency Data and Analytics

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae publish monthly loan-level and pool-level disclosure data covering tens of millions of active mortgages. Most market participants lack the infrastructure to access, standardize, and analyze it systematically. Kenora provides curated data products and analytical services that turn these public disclosures into actionable intelligence.

We work with you on:

•       Pool-level and loan-level performance benchmarking across agency MBS cohorts

•       Prepayment, delinquency, and credit trend analysis by geography, vintage, and product type

•       Custom data extracts and analytics for portfolio surveillance, valuation, and research

•       Infrastructure design for teams building internal GSE data capabilities
