Some examples of our current offerings include:
.
CDO and CLO Manager Replacements
.
For a variety
of reasons, many institutional investors are considering their options for replacing the current asset manager for their CDO
or CLO programs. In addition to the destructive impact that the market crisis has had on small and medium sized management
firms, it is clear that many larger firms have made a conscious decision to de-emphasize their structured finance business.
These conditions, as well as several other market based phenomenon, have raised a flag with many investors who are concerned
about the long term performance of their structured investments.

Orchard Street Partners
has been actively involved in this ongoing market evolution for nearly 3 years. We can tell you which managers
seem committed, which seem less so and which firms are taking the necessary steps to ensure that these complex instruments
are getting the right levels of expert management that they require. If you are concerned about your current management
arrangements, allow us to help you sort through these issues and perhaps offer some alternative suggestions.
.
Trustee
Evaluation Program
.
Working with issuers of both new programs and for better management of their existing deal portfolio,
Orchard Street Partners leverages its extensive experience to improve both the service quality and the economics associated
with trust, custody, cash management, investment and investor reporting for CDO’s, CMBS, RMBS, ABS and emerging
asset classes.
.
We will evaluate both new and revised strategies for related
services including deal modeling and surveillance technologies, investor reporting, conduit administration and tax reporting. You
can rely on our experience and insight to develop the right strategies for keeping your service levels on track and the economics
for these services in line with current market conditions.
.
Transaction
Management Services
.
In
connection with new financings, Orchard Street Partners offers clients and their advisors the ability to draw on our experience
and resources to assist in several of the logistical areas associated with a new program; ones that are increasingly more
complex and too often given secondary levels of attention.
.
Assisting
in areas including deal documentation coordination, collateral delivery and certifications, regulatory filings, identifying
specialized technologies, selecting banking services vendors and setting up investor reporting schemes, Orchard Street
Partners serves as an invaluable compliment to your bankers, legal counsel and your own staff as you move through deal documentation
and program setup.
.
We are also capable of creating ongoing support schemes
which allow us to become a regular part of your “deal team” for future financings, saving you the trouble of carrying
dedicated staff for these non-routine activities.
.
Asset Servicer Advisory Services
.
A critical component of every securitization is the quality and efficiency of the organization servicing
those assets. In today’s turbulent markets, having a high degree of confidence in your servicing arrangements both
at the time of placement and then ongoing is extremely important. Orchard Street Partners is an independent expert with more than 25 years of experience in asset servicing
in a wide variety of asset classes and for a full array of different servicer roles including primary, master, back-up
and stand-by servicer. Our clients can utilize our services to evaluate either an existing servicer or a potentially
new servicing situation and have the confidence that our conclusions provide both constructive findings and, where necessary,
pragmatic recommendations for improvements.
.
We can also help our clients develop suitable programs for
servicer surveillance that may or may not include applied technologies and which consider the location, scale and complexity
of the asset pool. You will not get a “canned” solution from us…… we customize every solution
to meet each client's specific needs.
