Cerberus’ Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (“CMBS”) platform is comprised of professionals with extensive backgrounds in commercial real estate, trading, and structuring. Our team incorporates a strong knowledge of CMBS loans and capital structures into an investment process that emphasizes bottom-up property due diligence and tailored exposure to individual loan outcomes.

 

Our Investment Approach

We are committed to a fundamentals-driven and research-intensive approach to identifying investments that have the potential to produce attractive, risk-adjusted returns under a variety of stress-tested scenarios. We evaluate opportunities based on extensive credit underwriting, detailed loan-level research, and comprehensive analyses market factors.

Cerberus targets investments where complexity in properties, loans, servicing behavior, and capital structure creates price differentiation. We believe our CMBS platform is well-positioned to capture a diverse set of investment opportunities that can arise from legacy CMBS loans coming due in the subsequent years.
