DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - October 12, 2009) - MBH Enterprises LLC (MBH), a diversified holding
company focused on the financial services and infrastructure services
industries, has announced the formation of Ventras Capital Advisors LLC
(Ventras), a company that will specialize in both residential and
commercial real estate funds management and distressed asset management and
disposition. Ventras is currently raising third party capital to take
advantage of the current investment opportunities within CMBS.
The Ventras team, led by Scott Roth and Patti Unti, comes to Ventras from
Capmark Investments. Mr. Roth and Ms. Unti have been leading participants
in the Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) market since 1997,
having been involved in all aspects of the investment process, including
deal sourcing, bond analysis, credit due diligence, asset management,
financing, and disposition. The team has experience utilizing both long and
short strategies while investing in the entire CMBS capital structure.
Previously, Mr. Roth and Ms. Unti served as Co-Heads of Capmark Investments
Securities Team and as members of Capmark Investments' Securities
Investment Committee.
"We believe there are few management teams anywhere with this kind of
experience and successful track record in managing commercial
mortgage-related investments," said Steve Gutterman, a Managing Director of
MBH. "We're very pleased that Scott, Patti, and the team will provide top
quality management and fiduciary standards to our existing assets under
management, and that they will work alongside us to build Ventras."
Ventras Capital is the latest addition to MBH's portfolio of financial
service companies. In 2007, MBH acquired Denver-based Integrated Asset
Services (IAS), the nation's largest privately held collateral valuation
and default management service company for residential real estate. The
company provides a full suite of valuation, servicing, and disposition
services.
Together with IAS, Ventras will have the ability to manage large pools of
assets, value and service individual assets, and facilitate the transition
of assets to stable holders. The Ventras platform will also benefit by the
addition of Funds led by best-in-class fund managers.
"Over the next two to three years, there will be intense interest in
opportunistically investing in distressed residential and commercial
assets," Gutterman said. "We are uniquely positioned to do well in this
market while helping to provide much-needed disposition solutions to banks
and borrowers at the same time."
