Strong start for CMBS in 2012
The first CMBS deals of 2012 have priced well, and interest rates being quoted by the conduit shops are now sub 5 percent for high quality CMBS loans.

Bad mood at 2012 CREFC conference
The annual CREFC conference was last week in Miami and, while attendance was slightly up, the mood was way worse than last year. 2011 started great (with momentum from a strong second half of 2010), but the summer spread widening caused losses and basically shut down the second half of 2011.

10 Years On and Rocking
Every year on September 11, I join most people in the nation and reflect on the terror attacks of that day. I was in New York Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2011 — and I witnessed the destruction firsthand. I was blessed that the meeting I had scheduled for 8:30 a.m. in Tower One at the Windows […]
First Public Deal of CMBS 2.0 Highlights Disclosure Issues
The CMBS deal recently priced by Deutsche Bank and UBS was the first deal since the market crash to include publicly registered bonds (all other post crash securitizations issued private bonds using the 144A Rule). This is a big deal. Most people agree that for the CMBS market to truly recover, we have to issue […]
Reg AB II Movement
The SEC recently “re-proposed” for public comment proposed new rules for asset backed securitization eligibility that has come to be known as Reg AB II. These proposed rules suggest changes to the current securitization regulations and cover multiple reforms on everything from asset-level disclosures on both public and private deals, to the role of the rating […]
