Independent Surveillance. Reliable Workouts. Reputational Protection.

You’ve built a platform of scale. Now it’s time to protect it. As a SASB lender or underwriter, you’re expected to manage retained interests, drive positive modification outcomes, and maintain shelf integrity — all while operating under regulatory scrutiny and rising reputational risk. When control rights shift, or servicing bias creeps in, your brand and balance sheet are on the line.

The Problem:

Pentalpha Governance offers end-to-end surveillance and governance services designed specifically for SASB lenders, underwriters, and issuers with horizontal and vertical risk retention exposure. 

Our Core Offerings Include:

Pentalpha Governance offers end-to-end surveillance and governance services designed specifically for SASB lenders, underwriters, and issuers with horizontal and vertical risk retention exposure. 

Fulfill horizontal risk retention requirements with an embedded, conflict-free partner.

Let us act as your internal monitoring desk across your SASB positions — both retained and sold. 

We serve as the neutral, independent party monitoring borrowers, servicers, and collectors — protecting the deal’s integrity and your reputation. 

We help sponsors and legal counsel embed better governance into deals from day one, reducing future ambiguity and conflict.

Track ownership changes in control-eligible certificates. Avoid being blindsided by bad actors.

Improve control provisions pre-issuance to reduce behavioral bias and mitigate litigation exposure. 

“We’re not here to work for the subordinate investor — we’re here to preserve the integrity of your deal.”

Maximizing the NPV of your debt, not someone else’s hedge return
Reducing servicing conflicts and reputational risk
Minimizing costly servicing transfers and disruptive re-education cycles
Shielding your corporate brand from litigation-heavy control parties
Strengthening your ESG profile via our DebtGov® leadership
