BY Business Wire | AGENCY | 03/05/25 01:57 PM EST

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- KBRA releases the February 2025 issue of CMBS Trend Watch.

The appetite for U.S. private label CMBS issuance remained strong in February as 17 deals priced for a total volume of $18.3 billion, more than doubling January?s issuance of $7.9 billion. On a year-over-year (YoY) basis, issuance is higher by 196.3% with no likely slowdown on the horizon. Based on our current visibility, up to 22 rated deals could launch in March, including 10 single borrower (SB), seven conduits, four commercial real estate collateralized loan obligations (CRE CLO), and one Freddie Mac (Agency).

In February, KBRA published pre-sales for 11 deals including five conduits ($4.1 billion), four SB ($6.1 billion), and two Agency ($2 billion). February?s surveillance activity included rating reviews of 508 securities issued in connection with 45 transactions, including 26 conduits, 10 Agencies, six SBs, two CRE CLOs, and one large loan. Of the 508 ratings, 456 were affirmed, 41 were downgraded, and 11 were upgraded.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
