Dan Perotti is chief financial officer of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. and PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust. In this dual role, he oversees capital planning and financial operations for both a national lender and a mortgage REIT, guiding capital allocation and balance sheet management to support long-term returns.
Perotti has been with PennyMac since 2008, providing institutional knowledge and technical expertise through multiple market cycles. Over the past 12 months, he helped the company navigate the volatile rate environment of 2025, contributing to stock performance that reached new all-time highs. In 2025, he guided the successful issuance of nearly $3 billion in unsecured debt, strengthening the companies’ capital positions and supporting a disciplined capital structure.
In August 2025, Perotti formally petitioned the Financial Accounting Standards Board to address ambiguity in GAAP related to mortgage servicing rights. He advocated for clarification that would allow recapture to be included as a component of an MSR’s fair value, seeking greater consistency and comparability in financial reporting across the mortgage industry.
