CMBS: creating a performance history

Article Abstract:

The performance history of commercial mortgage-backed securities was examined to analyze the risks associated with their true credit exposure. Cash flows of the security were directly linked to the cash flow of the underlying real estate. Risk compensation levels were then examined to determine how different kinds of tranched mortgage pools would behave at different points in the real estate cycle. Results indicated significant differences across all tranche kinds resulting from variations in the underlying pool mix.
