Stifel Nicolaus' Mortgage Finance and Loan Trading Department specializes in marketing and evaluating loan portfolios. Our expertise encompasses residential, multifamily, commercial, and consumer loans. From adjustable rate to fixed rate mortgages, and from performing new originations to seasoned or even non-performing loans, Stifel Nicolaus can provide enhanced liquidity, often in the form of aggressive "whole loan" bids from a wide range of firm clients.

Stifel Nicolaus is a full-service investment bank with a particularly strong focus on small to mid-size depository institutions. The interplay between investment banking (mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, and strategic discussions, etc.) and the balance sheet strategies groups (providing banks with investment and liquidity solutions) combines to provide a steady flow of loan portfolios for the Mortgage Finance and Loan Trading Department to evaluate and market. As a result, the Mortgage Finance and Loan Trading Department regularly sells a broad range of loan portfolios and has established a wide variety of investors. Our firm-wide relationships with small to mid-size depositories, coupled with liquidity provided by the big banks, conduits, Wall Street firms, insurance companies, specialty finance companies, and hedge fund companies creates the unique network we draw on for loan portfolio liquidity.
