SASB

CIO Rob Allard says infra and energy rank high alongside CRE debt priorities as issuers enter a more fractured environment.

The conduit market has also seen strong growth so far this year, but this may not continue.

Attributing factors include heightened loan complexity and growth of the SASB market, co-heads of the firm’s Capital Markets Group tell REC USA.

The CMBS market saw record issuance in the first two months of the year.

Projections for conduit issuance remain unchanged.

The covid crisis has tempered issuance this year. But lenders are hopeful the market will revive as the US emerges from social restrictions imposed due to the pandemic.
