NSM Capital Management, an investment advisory firm part-founded by the former global head of corporate debt syndication at Dresdner Kleinwort, has launched a new company to help investors value and manage the complex credit packages that have been damaged by the recent market turbulence.

The company, which is called Structured Credit Solutions, will provide services to financial institutions and investment funds, which hold or are preparing to invest in structured products affected by the turmoil, particularly securities and derivatives exposed to the US sub-prime mortgage crisis.
