Edgar Matthews & Co. LLC (“Edgar Matthews”), an investment bank focused on the structured finance market, today announced that Sanjay Patel has joined the firm as a Managing Director. Mr. Patel will lead Edgar Matthews’ advisory and capital markets coverage of the residential finance sector, spanning QM and non-QM mortgage, RTL and DSCR, HELOC and closed-end second liens, SFR, HEI, MSR, and adjacent financing products.

Mr. Patel’s appointment underscores Edgar Matthews’ continued investment in specialized sector expertise as the firm broadens its footprint across structured credit and deepens engagement with originators, asset managers, and insurance capital. The appointment also formalizes a dedicated coverage effort for a segment of the market Edgar Matthews has participated in selectively since its founding and further extends the firm’s structured credit franchise to the world’s largest consumer credit market.

Mr. Patel brings more than two decades of financial services experience to the firm, including more than 16 years of expertise partnering with specialty finance companies on capital markets execution, financing, and strategic transactions. He joins Edgar Matthews from Nomura, where he served as a senior banker covering the mortgage and residential credit sectors exclusively, and previously held similar roles at BMO Capital Markets and Citi. Over the course of his career, Mr. Patel has advised on more than $21 billion of transactions in both public and private capital markets, securitization, whole loan and forward flow trades, warehouse and corporate financings, and M&A.

“With approximately $13 trillion outstanding, U.S. residential mortgage is the largest and most developed consumer credit market in the country, and we have been selective participants in it for some time,” said Matt Edgar, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Edgar Matthews & Co. “Building a dedicated capability was the logical next step and we believe there is a unique opportunity to serve originators in an asset-light way, bringing structuring and distribution capability to situations the largest banks simply are not set up to underwrite. Sanjay has spent his career in this market, and his track record, experience and expertise make him the ideal individual to build and lead this franchise.”

“Edgar Matthews has built a differentiated platform in specialty finance and structured credit in a remarkably short period of time. The firm’s infrastructure allows us to deliver solutions our clients cannot easily source elsewhere,” said Mr. Patel. “The team is at the forefront of structuring insurance-friendly solutions for asset originators, which is a powerful market-making capability to bring to both issuers and investors in the mortgage sector. Matt and the Edgar Matthews team possess an established track record and I look forward to partnering with clients across the residential ecosystem as we build out a dedicated franchise to better meet their needs.”
