Gambro YR 2012 UL https://pm-research.com/content/17/4/138.abstract AB The CMBS panel held on October 18, 2011, focused on recent developments in the Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) market. The panelists addressed how the most recent CMBS deals compare with CMBS deals that were issued before the credit crisis in 2008/2009 and with the CMBS deals that restarted the CMBS market after the credit crisis. The expectation is that the market will continue to grow in 2012, although it will be buffeted by European headwinds. Macro-induced volatility has cheapened the sector even while the credit fundamentals remain sound at the top of the capital stack, creating investment opportunities.TOPICS: MBS and residential mortgage loans, CMBS and commercial mortgage loans
