Amherst Holdings, LLC is a holding company for financial firms focused on serving institutional investors in the markets for mortgage-backed securities and other structured finance products. Amherst Holdings emphasizes a unique, analytical approach to these markets, focusing on the credit and performance characteristics of mortgage assets.
Our dedication to developing proprietary analytical tools and methodologies has fostered an invaluable perspective of how mortgage assets will perform over time through a unique approach to analyzing loan-level data.
In the past few years, while other companies were actively pursuing investment strategies that are producing enormous losses, Amherst Holdings was dedicated to a conservative, analytical view of all aspects of the mortgage markets. Today, using proprietary technologies, Amherst Holdings and its subsidiaries identify exceptional investment opportunities for our clients, including buying and selling mortgage-backed securities, other structured finance products and related derivatives. We are effectively arming our clients with actionable intelligence for pursuing outstanding investment opportunities in this tumultuous residential and commercial mortgage market.

Amherst Funding Group, LP (AFG) is structured as a mortgage conduit and is authorized to own and service mortgage loans nationwide. AFG is an approved FNMA seller / servicer.
