Mezzanine CMBS: credit analysis and relative value
Article Abstract:
The mezzanine portion of A- or BBB-rated commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) has traditionally attracted investors because of its inherent advantages. However, to exploit these inherent benefits of mezzanine CMBS, investors must understand real estate risk and make good relative value judgements of CMBS, corporate debt and mortgage loans. The key relative value considerations when comparing CMBS to corporate debt of similar rating and average life are event risk, liquidity and optionality.
