About Us
An investment bank wholly owned by a nonprofit CDFI. That structure creates natural alignment with community lenders and allows us to invest in building markets — not simply executing transactions.
Momentus Securities was created to bridge a structural gap between community finance and institutional capital markets.
Community lenders finance economically important assets and borrowers, but many lack access to the financing, liquidity and risk-management tools routinely available to larger financial institutions.
We exist to close that gap.
We combine investment banking, structured finance, trading and advisory capabilities to develop capital, liquidity and risk-transfer solutions for community lenders and mission-driven financial institutions.
An Investment Bank Built Differently
Momentus Securities is wholly owned by Capital Impact Partners, a nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and part of the Momentus Capital family.
That ownership matters.
It aligns us with the institutions we serve and allows us to invest in market creation — not simply transaction economics.
Our objective is to build sustainable connections between community finance and institutional capital: developing structures, creating liquidity, expanding investor participation and helping institutions access markets that historically have been difficult to reach.
Institutional capabilities. Mission alignment.
Our Mission
We help build communities and small businesses by providing capital market solutions and trusted financial advice for small businesses, nonprofits and community-centric lenders, and other entities.
Our Vision
An economic system that respects and uplifts all peoples’ right to achieve the dreams they have for themselves, their communities, and generations to come.
What We Believe
Access
Community lenders should have access to the capital-markets tools routinely available to larger financial institutions.
Innovation
Many of those tools already exist. Our role is to adapt them to the needs of community finance rather than reinvent them.
Alignment
Our ownership allows us to focus on building markets and long-term solutions, not simply maximizing individual transaction economics.
Scale
Connecting community finance with institutional capital can expand liquidity, diversify funding and increase the capacity of community lenders to serve their markets.
Our Platform: Connecting Community Finance to Institutional Capital
Momentus Securities is an SEC-registered broker-dealer, a MSRB-registered municipal advisor, a FINRA-approved broker-dealer, and a FINRA/SIPC member. We are an investment bank focused on bridging community finance and institutional capital markets by developing capital, liquidity and risk-transfer solutions for CDFIs, community lenders and other mission-driven financial institutions.
Our goal is to address the structural barriers that have historically limited institutional investment in community finance by adapting established capital-markets tools, creating secondary-market liquidity and building scalable pathways to institutional capital.
