Fort Schuyler Advisors

What Fort Schuyler Advisors does

Fort Schuyler Advisors is a privately held, founder-owned advisory firm headquartered in New York (with a Purchase, NY mailing location) that provides consulting services focused on structured credit, consumer and residential whole loans, and asset valuation. The firm serves financial institutions including public investment companies, private funds, and broker/dealers, helping them analyze loan portfolios, integrate technology into existing infrastructure, and develop plans for the management of illiquid assets. The principal, Paul Mangione, brings over 20 years of experience in technology and portfolio management, and the firm operates a sole-Principal model supplemented by a small professional network.

The firm's service portfolio spans a wide consumer loan taxonomy: residential whole loans (including closed-end seconds and first mortgages), HELOC portfolio advisory, fix-and-flip and hard money loans, manufactured housing loans, auto loans, RV loans, student loans, and unsecured consumer loans. Beyond project advisory, the firm operates a recurring research and market intelligence product called Private Credit Monitor and produces Tableau-based data visualizations that include examples such as NYC building permit data and Qualified Opportunity Zone mapping. The firm explicitly does not act as a broker-dealer and does not provide personalized investment advice.

The business model is professional services / advisory engagement-based with quote-based pricing for institutional clients. Distribution is direct, relationship-driven enterprise sales to a narrow set of financial institution buyers, supplemented by content marketing through a blog, newsletter, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, plus selective participation in industry events such as IMN conferences and LIFT Meetups. The firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or external ownership; a related DBA, Fort Schuyler Capital, exists alongside the advisory entity. The company is actively operating as of late 2025.
