CREF Structured Finance Council
MBA's CREF Structured Finance Council serves as a forum for members to engage on structured finance-related topics including market practices, evolving products, and policy issues shaping the sector. The Council examines key trends in securitization and other structured products, fosters dialogue on risk management and investor needs, and provides insight into how structured finance supports companies with complex capital requirements not met by traditional lending. In addition to networking opportunities, the Council plays an important role in informing MBA’s advocacy efforts by sharing member perspectives on regulatory and legislative developments that impact the industry.
Key Areas of Focus: Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS), Commercial Real Estate Collateralized Loan Obligation (CRE CLO), Single Asset Single Borrower (SASB).
