What are Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities?


FY2005 Property Type Distribution FY2005 Property Type Distribution

Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) are bonds collateralized by mortgages on commercial and multifamily properties that are income-producing and operated for economic profit. The mortgage payments are, in turn, dependent on the rental stream paid by tenants to the property owner (i.e., the borrower). CMBS offer diversification benefits as bonds are typically collateralized by a large number of loans with exposure to a wide range of property types and geographic regions. Main property types in CMBS collateral include retail, office, multifamily, hotel and industrial.

Multiborrower Floater, 11%

Types of CMBS transactions


Conduit Fixed-rate transaction involving well-diversified pool of loans (typically 100 to 250 loans) The most granular and diversified of all CMBS transaction types. Conduit was the original deal structure where underlying loans were of roughly equal size (ranging from $1mm to $30mn) and were generally full leverage (80% loan-to-value ratio). More recently, the structure of conduit deals has changed. Now, deals that include large loans have become the norm. Some of the larger loans are lower-leverage shadow-rated investment-grade loans. Collateral consists primarily of 10-year fixed-rate loans with strong prepayment protection resulting in 10-year bullet bonds. Contains securities rated AAA through NR, with triple-B plus through NR bonds generally placed privately. Through the use of credit enhancement in the form of subordination, over 85% of the transaction is rated triple-A. Multiborrower-floater - Transactions typically include between 2 and 20 large loans, which generally utilize floating-rate financing Transactions require extensive real estate due diligence and analysis due to inherent lack of diversity. Contains investment-grade through below investment-grade securities and are placed privately. Borrowers obtain short-term financing with prepayment flexibility. Often contains transitional, storied properties. Analysis and execution heavily dependent on pool diversity and underlying collateral. Single Asset/Single Borrower Transactions where credit risk hinges on a single borrower or property Demand intensive due diligence and analysis. These transactions can be backed by either one large asset, such as a trophy office building or shopping mall, or by a pool of assets in which the mortgage loans are crossed-collateralized and cross-defaulted. These transactions fell out of favor post-9/11 due to the inherent concentrated event risk (e.g., 7 World Trade Center transaction, BALL 2001-7WTC).

2005 CMBS Participation by Investor Type 2005 CMBS Participation by Investor Type

All categories of institutional investors invest in CMBS. In fact, the number of investors in the CMBS market has increased approximately 125% since 1998. The continued growth in transaction size and the introduction of senior/subordinated AAA classes has lured cross-over buyers into CMBS and away from corporates, RMBS and Agency debentures.

Why do investors purchase commercial real estate assets?


Good diversification with respect to other institutional-grade assets Commercial properties often contain tenants encompassing many lines of business, making the properties cash flows less susceptible to fluctuations of any one particular sector of the economy. Good inflation hedge. Excellent liquidity Diversified real estate exposure can be easily obtained via ownership through the CMBS market. Strong historical performance spurred interest in both direct equity investments as well as for securitized products. Strong institutional sponsorship for CMBS Performance for public assets is easy to monitor and track. CMBS have begun to replace direct investment as the medium of choice for many institutional investors, including: Banks Insurance companies Pension funds/Endowments. Excellent returns and credit performance Historical direct, un-levered investment in commercial real estate has annually returned approximately 9.5%. Investment-grade CMBS have realized cumulative total returns of over 60% since January 20001. Unrated CMBS bonds currently offer annual yields of approximately 20%.

Role of loan servicer


Master servicer collects loan payments, maintains records and provides investor reports and payment advances to the trust. Special servicer forecloses, re-structures, or works out loans that become delinquent or suffer other adverse events Legal documents often provide for the holders of the first-loss securities to control the activities of the special servicer. Servicing of commercial mortgage loans involves greater discretion than servicing for other types of loans servicer must use judgment to maximize recovery value of the property. Rating agencies review and approve the servicers capabilities as an integral element of CMBS ratings.

An Introduction to CMBS

Despite the heavy fixed-rate conduit issuance in the first half of the year, we expect a slowdown in the second half of the year from the tempering of the demand for loans due to rising interest rates. We expect FY 2006 conduit issuance of around $130 billion, roughly 5% less than in 2005. Expect less multiborrower floaters with more floating rate loan candidates being originated as shorter term fixed-rate loans or placed in CDO structures. In sharp contrast to 2004-2005 when international issuance volume surged, international issuance slowed in 1H 2006 due to a sharp decline in issuance in the U.K. We forecast 2006 international issuance of $61bn, a 13% drop from 2005.

Some important terms Net Cash Flow


Net Cash Flow (NCF) is the property cash flow remaining after underwritten reserves are subtracted. Examples of reserves include: Capital Expenditures (CapEx) Replacement of major building systems such as roofs Tenant Improvements Physical improvements to the property to attract new tenants to new or vacated space Leasing Commissions Payments for a real estate broker or leasing agent to help re-lease vacant space Replacement Reserves Property maintenance costs

An Introduction to CMBS

NCF is used to calculate debt service coverage ratios (= NCF / Debt Service) and can also be used to estimate property values (= NCF / Cap Rate). The capitalization rate (Cap rate), which is calculated as NCF / Property Price can be seen as a property investors required rate of return.
19

Some important terms Loan-to-Value / Debt Service Coverage ratios


Loan to Value (LTV) and Debt Service Coverage (DSCR) Calculation Loan to Value (LTV) and Debt Service Coverage (DSCR) Calculation

Basic formulas LTV = Loan Amount / Property Value DSCR = Cash Flow (NOI or NCF)/ Debt Service (i.e., Principal + Interest) Actual LTV and DSCR - based on appraised values and actual debt service as follows: Actual LTV = Loan Amount / Appraised Property Value = $36,750,000 / $46,100,000 = 79.7% Actual DSCR = Net Cash Flow / Actual Debt Service Payments (during amortization period) = $3,045,812 / $2,529,742 = 1.20 Stressed LTV and DSCR - based on rating agency cap rate and constants as follows: Stressed LTV = Loan Amount / Est. Rating Agency Value (i.e., NCF / Rating Agency Cap Rate) = S36,750,000 / ($3,045,812/9.25%) = 111.61% Stressed DSCR = Net Cash Flow / Rating Agency Debt Service (i.e., Loan Amount X Rating Agency Constant) = $3,045,812 / ($36,750,000 X 10.09%) = 0.82

An Introduction to CMBS

LTV and DSCR are used to calculate loan proceeds and pricing. LTV and DSCR are important indicators of default potential. DSCR is a better predictor of term defaults. LTV is a better predictor of balloon-date defaults.

20

Some important terms Default risk


Definition of defaults (Fitch): Loans that are 60 days or more past due on a debt service payment or 90 days or more past due on a balloon payment Function of LTV and DSCR
Example Using the earlier 80% LTV loan example, assume a large tenant representing 20% of the property cash flow vacates at the beginning of year 5. As a result, NOI subsequently declines 20% in Year 5 and DSCR drops below 1.0x. In contrast, if the loan were underwritten as a 70% leverage loan, even with a large tenant vacating, the DSCR would remain above 1.0x.

21

Some important terms Extension (Balloon) risk


Aspect of credit risk Risk that there will not be enough income and equity to pay off the balloon balance and the loan will extend Most loans have 20- to 30-year amortization schedules, which help mitigate extension risk as it lowers the principal balance due at the balloon date

Prepayment risk and call protection


Strong call protection in fixed-rate loans help protect CMBS investors from prepayments (i.e., early return of principal). Call protection terminology: Hard lockout: No prepayments allowed. Defeasance: Borrower cannot prepay the loan but may substitute a portfolio of US Treasury bonds as collateral that replicates the original loans remaining cash flow stream. Once a loan is defeased, the credit quality of the deal it collateralized actually improves because there are no longer any credit concerns associated with the loans future cash flows. Yield Maintenance: Borrower can only prepay the loan by paying a penalty, generally equal to the present value of the lost coupon when compared to US Treasury rates, or 1%, whichever is greater. Prepayments during the yield maintenance period often result in higher rates of return than would be obtained otherwise.
An Introduction to CMBS

Current exposure by type of call protection: Hard lockout then defeasance (> 90% of all fixed-rate loans). Hard lockout then yield maintenance (5% -10% of all fixed-rate loans). Hard lockout then a set penalty schedule such as 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1% year by year (not common). Lock-out followed by defeasance is preferred by bond investors because it results in the most stable cash flow.

A closer look at traditional conduit structures issued pre-2005


Triple-A bonds accounted for about 80% of the total transaction. Most pre-2005 triple-A structures had only 2 tranches: 5-year average life wide-window and 10-year average life tight-window. Subordination levels declined as issuers included more investment-grade loans in transactions Investment grade loan exposure accounted for 13% of fixed-rate conduit collateral in 2005

New bond structure Late 2004 to present


Triple-A bonds now account for 85-90% of a total transaction. Triple-A bonds have become more highly structured, which we view as inevitable in a maturing market: To address investor concerns regarding declining subordination levels, senior/subordinated triple-A bonds are now routinely included. Additional front-pay bonds with shorter average lives (3-year A/L). Tight window 5yr and 7yr triple-A bonds. Multifamily-directed triple-A bond. 7yr triple-A scheduled-pay bond (A-AB or ASB bond).

Analyzing the bonds


Wide-window 3-year AAA: NOT interest rate sensitive (i.e., no prepayments due to loan-level lockout) Credit bond analysis required, although diverse repayment source (loan amortization) and young loan age will result in few (if any) defaults. Tight-window 5-year AAA: NOT interest rate sensitive (hard lockout followed by 1) defeasance or 2) yield maintenance) Credit specific analysis required, focusing on loans with term dates that occur during bond repayment window Focus on loans with full-term IO, coupon dispersion from mean, low DSCRs 3 CDR type analysis does not apply Need to consider the possibility that loans may extend at their maturity date
An Introduction to CMBS

Tight-window 7-year AAA: Somewhat interest rate sensitive. Loans have exited hard lockout. May prepay via yield maintenance.

37

Analyzing the bonds


Wide-window 7-year AAA (A-SB): Somewhat interest rate sensitive. Loans have exited hard lockout. May prepay via yield maintenance. Credit bond analysis required, although diverse repayment source (loan amortization) will result in few (if any) defaults.

Tight-window 10-year AAAs (A-4, A-M, A-J): Somewhat interest rate sensitive. Loans have exited hard lockout. May prepay via yield maintenance or freely prepay in the open period. Less credit specific analysis required, since bulk of loans maturing. 3 CDR type analysis does apply. We recommend a more realistic 0.5 CDR, 12 month lag to recovery, 35% severity of loss, 100% P&I advance by servicer. Can overlay loan-specific scenarios

38

Interest only bonds (IOs)


Single IO strip
Traditional IO strip defined as the adjusted NWAC of the loans minus the NWAC of the principal bonds Large amount of proceeds is at times difficult to clear in the market

Two IO strips (PAC and Support)


The PAC IO is stripped from the traditional IO. Its notional amount and size is determined assuming certain default and prepayment scenarios PAC IOs generally have a limited WAL of 6.25 years and a cash flow duration of about 3.25 years The Support IO is the leftover and bears most of the brunt in the event of early prepayment

An Introduction to CMBS

Note: The general pricing scenario for IO structures assumes 100 CPR after lockout and yield maintenance (this is also referred to as 100CPY)

39

Subordinate bonds (the B-piece)


BB+ through Unrated bonds (below investment-grade). Bidding process Preliminary information sent to a group of known investors for indicative bid, Winning bidder then selected who performs full due diligence before providing a final bid. Typically purchased by investors with real estate expertise, often with a capital partner. Often have special servicing capabilities Ability to choose special servicer is typically held by buyer of the most subordinate class, Special servicer handles problem loans on behalf of the trust. Due Diligence Loans are re-underwritten in a fashion similar to rating agencies, B-piece investors occasionally reject loans from a pool.

An Introduction to CMBS

40

The B-piece market has become highly competitive


The combination of attractive relative yields, strong historical performance and the growth in the CDO market has resulted in several new B-piece buyers entering the market and has created a much more competitive environment In 2001, GMAC, ARCap, Allied, and Lennar controlled 87% of the B-piece market. By 2003, 4 new buyers entered the market, and that number dropped to 64% and was 39%, as of year-end 2005. After shrinking in size by 7% in 2004 due to a significant decline in credit support levels, the B-piece market volume grew by 57% in 2005 due to a dramatic increase in overall fixed-rate issuance. Given the decline in credit support levels, B-piece buyers have had to increase their activity to maintain similar investment levels; 5 B-piece buyers invested in multiple transactions during 2001; 9 B-piece buyers did so during 2005. Over the last several years, we have seen a significant compression in B-piece spreads due to the increase in the number of investors pursuing higher yielding bonds.

Floating-rate CMBS overview


Have less call protection than fixed-rate loans, which makes adverse selection an issue: Good loans prepay leaving underperforming assets to support the trust. With interest rates down sharply over the past several years, prepays have been heavy in deals backed by stabilized properties. In deals backed by turn-around properties, recession weakness and property price declines have resulted in fewer prepays and greater exercise of extension options; borrower must credit-qualify to exercise extension options. Pro-rata structure allows for partial pay down of junior bond classes pari passu with senior bond classes; stabilizes WAL of senior bonds while mitigating credit concerns of B-piece investors.
An Introduction to CMBS

42

Review of typical floating rate loan characteristics


Loans are generally uncapped & float over LIBOR. Additional protection provided by a separate interest rate cap pledged to the trust. Counterparty is typically AAA or AA rated Almost always float over one month LIBOR Mostly interest only Loans have either a two- or a three-year initial term. One-year extensions bring maximum term to five years Often must pass DSCR and LTV tests to extend, & a no default test Must buy additional interest rate caps to extend Borrower usually pays a fee to extend (% to %) - fee typically retained in some fashion by the loan seller Loans are locked-out from prepayment for 1 to 2 years. Step-down penalties for next 12 to 18 months following lockout (varies by issuer) Prepayment penalties collected usually used to compensate the IO holders The total debt on the property is often more than the debt securitized in the Trust. Securitized loan is almost always shadow-rated at least BBBJunior participation or mezzanine debt may also exist Many floating rate loans are collateralized by multiple properties.

Floating rate credit structure


Triple-A bonds now account for 85-90% of a total transaction. Triple-A bonds have become highly structured, which we view as inevitable in a maturing market: Senior/Subordinate structure from AAA to BBBSuper-Senior class almost always exists IO classes are typically AAA Average life of bonds is typically 1-3 years, but can extend to a final maturity of 5 years Some deals use straight sequential structure All principal is used to retire the most senior bonds first Interest cash flows also paid to senior class first
An Introduction to CMBS

Many deals use a modified Pro-Rata Structure Partial pay down of junior bond classes pari passu with senior bond classes. Most of these deals have a trigger that switch to a sequential pay structure when only a few loans or less than 30% of the original principal balance remains Prepayment penalties are often used to compensate the IO; Extension fees often go to the loan seller.

Why Investors Like Large Loan Floaters


Spread: Wide compared with many other assets U.S. Real Estate markets are improving GOOD CARRY: Bonds can be repod at attractive rates and haircuts CDO GROWTH: The Commercial Real Estate CDO market is growing BBB floaters are a natural raw material CDO liabilities are also mostly floating. These bonds do not require the cost of buying (potentially amortizing) swaps

An Introduction to CMBS

49

Why Investors Do Not Like Large Loan Floaters


Triple-A bonds now account for 85-90% of a total transaction. Repayment is dependent on a handful of large loans. Adverse selection results in better loans prepaying while lesser quality loans often extend. Transitional properties increase balloon-date default risk. Loans are typically freely prepayable after 12 to 18 months, which introduces risk of early repayment. Short average life: Loans have 2- to 3-year terms extendable only to five years.
An Introduction to CMBS

Can an investor get a floating-rate CMBS that offers: The credit quality, diversification and subordination of a fixed-rate AAA bond. Any WAL from 5 to 10 years designed specifically to meet investor demand. Cash flow stability with respect to bond extensions or shortening? Yes, through a balance guarantee swap embedded in a fixed-rate triple-A conduit bond.

Swaption

An Introduction to CMBS

By issuing floating-rate liabilities, the Trust is exposed to the interest rate mismatch between the fixed-rate return earned on the assets and the floating-rate payable on the liabilities The Trust is required to execute a swap in order to eliminate any interest rate mismatch JPMorgan will agree to pay floating to the Trust in exchange for a set fixed rate In order to act as an effective hedge for the Trust, the swap must have a balance guarantee feature The swap is initially executed based on the initial size of the asset pool and amortizes based upon the expected amortization speed of the underlying collateral

Recent changes in CMBS loan characteristics


Loan pricing continues to tighten as a result of increased Wall Street lending needs, re-emergence of insurance companies looking to reinvest excess capital and the continued compression of bond spreads. Lenders have diversified loan terms and now offer 5-,7-,15- and 20-year terms, with interest-only periods extending out as far as 10 years or more. Lenders have relaxed reserve requirements and have also begun to allow more yield maintenance prepayment protection. Despite declining subordination levels, overall leverage has increased as traditional conduit loans are less frequently split into senior/junior components or into pari-passu participations. Participation by tax exchange investors (1031) and the use of tenant-in-common borrower structures will continue to increase as broker/dealers bring efficiency to this market.

Triple-A CMBS spreads have come back in from its recent wides in December 2005 as investors found that CMBS offered attractive spreads versus other sectors. Good performance in CMBS as well as less fixed-rate issuance in competing sectors, such as corporate bonds and ABS, should help maintain a strong technical backdrop for CMBS spreads.

What is a CMBS Index Total Return Swap (TRS)?


The CMBS Index TRS is a derivative contract governed by ISDA documentation in which one party (the receiver) receives total returns or excess return on a CMBS index from a second party (the payer) in return for a financing cost. TRS Payers (short CMBS) are either: 1.) dealers who seek to hedge their large loan pipelines and/or bond portfolios or 2.) investors looking to profit from widening spreads. TRS Receivers (long CMBS) are investors seeking to gain CMBS exposure to a broad, well-diversified, highly-rated portfolio and also take advantage of financing and leverage terms, which are usually attractive relative to terms available for cash bonds.
An Introduction to CMBS

There are two types of TRS: Traditional TRS (or TRS with duration): Receiver receives the total return of the index and hence is exposed to both spread and interest rate risk. Duration-neutral TRS: Version of TRS which removes interest rate risk and isolates spread risk (most common form today).

67

Total Return on CMBS Index Index Return * Notional TRS Payer (short CMBS) TRS Receiver (long CMBS) Pay fixed Swap Receive 3mL flat Counterparty

Financing Cost (LIBOR - spread) * N/360 * Notional

TRS Payer pays total return on CMBS Index, if return is positive. Return is composed of: 1.) Return due to price changes in underlying bonds over the holding period; 2.) return from reinvested interest and 3.) gain or loss from the return of principal (at par) on bonds that were priced at a discount or premium.
An Introduction to CMBS

TRS Receiver pays financing cost. In addition, if return is negative, Receiver must pay the Payer the absolute value of the return amount. TRS Receiver is exposed to interest rate risk embedded in an indexs total return and can choose to hedge that risk with an interest rate swap. TRS Receiver will pledge collateral equal to 1 to 5% of the notional amount of the trade depending on counterparty credit.
* The direction of the total return flows in the diagram reflects the assumption of a positive return on the index. If negative, the direction would be reversed.

Duration-neutral TRS focuses exclusively on the change in spread of a given index. Price changes in the index due to prepayments, defaults or interest rate movements no longer, or minimally, affect either party. TRS Payer pays the excess return of a given index, if return is positive. Netted with funding advantage
An Introduction to CMBS

TRS Receiver pays funding advantage. In addition, if return is negative, Receiver must pay the Payer the absolute value of the spread return amount. Similar to the traditional TRS, Receiver will pledge collateral equal to 1% to 5% of the notional amount. Unlike traditional TRS, an interest rate swap is unnecessary.

What are commercial real estate CDOs (CRE CDOs)?


A CDO is comparable to a finance company. Borrows money (liabilities) Invests in collateral (assets) Has residual value (equity) The equity of a CDO represents an ownership stake in an entity and first loss position. The assets are typically managed by a seasoned asset manager with a strong track record in the respective CDO asset class. Repayment of liabilities relies on the performance of the underlying collateral pool and asset manager.

What is a credit default swap (CDS)?


An agreement between two counterparties in which one party wishes to gain exposure to a particular reference asset (i.e., the protection seller), while the other party wishes to eliminate exposure to the same asset (i.e., the protection buyer). The most common reasons for CDS include To hedge, or reduce the risk of owning a particular cash bond, in the event one does not want, or is unable, to sell it To gain credit exposure to a particular asset in an unfunded format, which allows for more efficient deployment of capital To express either a positive or negative credit opinion on a particular asset that

May be executed separately from other exposures to the same asset or Can not be easily attained in the cash market.

Basic CDS trade mechanics


Contingent floatingrate payment Fee/Premium Fixedrate payment

Protection Seller
Long risk Sell CDS/Protection Receive fixed periodic payments Economically similar to owning a cash bond

Protection Buyer
Short risk Buy CDS/Protection Pay fixed periodic payments Economically similar to shorting a cash bond

Protection Buyer: The counterparty that wants to eliminate, or reduce, credit risk.
An Introduction to CMBS

The buyer pays a fixed periodic premium, which is quoted in basis points as a percentage of the notional amount of the trade. The premium amount is directly related to the riskiness (either perceived or real) of the reference asset: the riskier the reference asset, the greater the premium required. Protection Seller: The counterparty that wants to gain exposure to the reference asset. Collects periodic fixed payment from the protection buyer, but is obligated to pay the protection buyer in the instance a credit event occurs (e.g., write-down, interest shortfall or failure to pay principal).

Interest shortfall nuances: Fixed-cap versus uncapped


Fixed-cap Limits interest shortfall payment to the fixed-rate premium paid by protection buyer. Shortfall that exceeds the fixed-rate premium is not covered by the protection seller.

Uncapped Mandates full reimbursement for the entire coupon that suffers a shortfall.
An Introduction to CMBS

Not limited to the fixed-rate premium paid by buyer. Protection seller may be required to pay the amount equal to (Shortfall-Premium) out of own pocket.

Valuing CDS: Mark-to-Market


Measures the change in value of a CDS position from trade date to the current date important when determining upfront payment for novation trades. Based on the PV01, or the Present Value of a bp. PV01 is the contracts sensitivity to a 1bp spread change. Mark-to-market value = (St-S0)*PV01. Reference obligations with longer durations have higher PV01s than do reference obligations with shorter durations and are more sensitive to spread movements.

Carry is the annualized contract premium times the notional trade amount = {Premium (in bp)} * Trade Notional Amt * Act/360.

Rules for inclusion for CMBX


Since CMBX was designed to replicate an investment in a diversified basket of newly issued CMBS at a given rating level, standardized rules for inclusion were carefully drafted to maximize the transparency of the indexs components, which should enhance trading liquidity.

Deal-level criteria: All bonds must be US dollar denominated, fixed-rate securities. The transaction must be rated by at least any two of Fitch, Moodys or S&P. The deals aggregate balance must be greater than $700mn. The deal must include securities with tranches rated AAA/Aaa, AA/Aa2, A/A2, BBB/Baa2 and BBB-/Baa3. In instances where there are more than one triple-A class with equal credit enhancement, the tranche with the longest weighted average life will be included. In instances where a tranche is split-rated, the lower of the ratings will be used.
An Introduction to CMBS

The securities must be collateralized by at least 50 separate mortgages that are obligations of at least 10 borrowers who are unaffiliated with each other or with the issuer of the CMBS transaction. The maximum concentration of any single property-type can not exceed 60% by dollar value. The maximum concentration in any single state must not exceed 40% by dollar value.
90

Rules for inclusion for CMBX


Tranche-level criteria: The identity and principal economic terms must be listed on Bloomberg For the triple-A sub-index the aggregate principal amount of the tranche must be greater than $100mn For the CMBX.NA.AAA index, each reference obligation must have an expected weighted average life of greater than eight years and less than 12 years from the date of issuance using a 0% CPY scenario Furthermore, the expected weighted average life can not decrease by more than one year when calculated using a 100% CPP scenario and by more than two years when calculated using a 100% CPY scenario

The CMBX: Some important facts


Represents a standardized basket of CMBS CDS that references a basket of newly issued CMBS reference obligations. Rolled every six months and includes bonds from most recently issued deals, which mitigates the potential for reference obligations to exhibit credit-specific nuances. Third parties, and no single dealer, are responsible for administering and marking the Index, while 14 dealers contribute prices.

The CMBX: Activity to date


Since its launch, activity in the CMBX.NA.AAA sub-index has dwarfed that of the other sub-indices by a ratio of approximately 10:1. The majority of the activity, though, has been inter-dealer. Only a few retail accounts have participated.

The CMBX & single-name CDS: Potential applications


Synthetic cross-sector or capital structure arbitrage, in which an investor simultaneously buys (or sells) an index in one sector (e.g., the CDX, ABX or CMBX) and sells (or buys) an index in the same or in a different sector against it. In the example below, the CMBX.NA.AA has tightened more than any other CMBX sub-index on a percentage basis. One possible trade would be to sell a credit butterfly by buying CMBX.NA.AAA and CMBX.NA.A and selling the CMBX.NA.AA.

The CMBX & single-name CDS: Potential applications


Exploit pricing inefficiencies among trading vehicles, such as among the CMBX, single-name CDS, cash bonds or TRS. Example: Compare the difference between buying $50 million of the CMBX.NA.AAA at 10bp versus buying $50 million of AAA CMBS at S+26bp.

Conclusion
The growth of the CMBS industry has broadened its investor base and has increased their sophistication. This has led to more efficient structures Ability to gain/shed risk speculatively Transfer economic exposure without selling cash asset Hedge an existing portfolio Create structures otherwise impossible if one was limited to cash bond assets Should ultimately lead to more efficient pricing

Analyst Certification The analyst(s) denoted by an AC certifies that: (1) all of the views expressed in this research accurately reflect his or her personal views about any and all of the subject securities or issuers; and (2) no part of any of the analysts compensation was, is, or will be directly or indirectly related to the specific recommendations or views expressed by the analyst(s) in this research. Important Disclosures * JPMSI or an affiliate has managed or co-managed an offering of securities within the past twelve months. ^ A senior employee, executive officer, or director of JPMSI and/or its affiliates is a director of the company. Explanation of Credit Research Ratings: Ratings System: JPMorgan uses the following sector/issuer portfolio weightings: Overweight (over the next three months, the recommended risk position is expected to outperform the relevant index, sector, or benchmark), Neutral (over the next three months, the recommended risk position is expected to perform in line with the relevant index, sector, or benchmark), and Underweight (over the next three months, the recommended risk position is expected to underperform the relevant index, sector, or benchmark) Valuation & Methodology: In JPMorgans credit research, we assign a rating to each issuer (Overweight, Underweight or Neutral) based on our credit view of the issuer and the relative value of its securities, taking into account the ratings assigned to the issuer by credit rating agencies and the market prices for the issuers securities. Our credit view of an issuer is based upon our opinion as to whether the issuer will be able service its debt obligations when they become due and payable. We assess this by analyzing, among other things, the issuers credit position using standard credit ratios such as cash flow to debt and fixed charge coverage (including and excluding capital investment). We also analyze the issuers ability to generate cash flow by reviewing standard operational measures for comparable companies in the sector, such as revenue and earnings growth rates, margins, and the composition of the issuers balance sheet relative to the operational leverage in its business. Analysts Compensation: The research analysts responsible for the preparation of this report receive compensation based upon various factors, including the quality and accuracy of research, client feedback, competitive factors and overall firm revenues.
