Walker & Dunlop (WD) said late Wednesday it has arranged $1.72 billion in financing to refinance nearly 13,000 workforce and affordable housing units across 52 properties in 10 US states for Starwood Capital Group. The loans were originated through Freddie Mac and support assets owned by Starwood Real Estate Income Trust, which acquired the portfolio in 2021, the company said.
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.
