Jillian Jaccard Murrish stops by The Business Brew to discuss co-founding and running Pier Asset Management; an alternative credit firm.  Pier delivers fixed income yield by investing in alternative credit, which they define as all nonbank lending.  Typical loan sizes in Pier’s portfolio are loans less than $250,000.

This was a fun conversation and touches on an asset class that hasn’t been discussed much on this program.  As always, nothing is investment advice and do your own due diligence!  Jillian’s credentials are as follows:

Mrs. Murrish is a co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Pier Asset Management. Prior to founding Pier, she was Executive Vice President of Capital Markets at Patch of Land where she built one of the first institutional whole loan sale programs in the real estate marketplace lending industry, secured $750M in loan purchase commitments, managed the firm’s warehouse funding, and lead equity capitalization efforts. Prior to her time in marketplace lending, Mrs. Murrish worked with technology clients in the Capital Markets group at a leading middle market investment bank, Houlihan Lokey. She has completed the Series 7, Series 63, Series 65, and Series 79 examinations. She is a graduate of the Loyola Marymount University Honors Program and has a B.S. in Accounting and a B.B.A. in Finance.

We hope you enjoy the discussion.
