DENVER, Aug. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- MountainView Capital Holdings, LLC, a leading provider of solutions for mortgage and capital market participants, today announced the acquisition of Capmark Securities, Inc. and the hiring of a seasoned team of fixed income professionals from Madison Williams and Company, LLC. The acquisition and key hires broaden the capabilities of MountainView Securities, LLC in mortgage pipeline hedging and trading of fixed income securities, including mortgage-backed securities.
