Giliberto-Levy Commercial Real Estate Debt Indexes Logo
RICHMOND, Va. (PRWEB) August 17, 2022
Investment banking leader John B. Levy & Company today released the latest Giliberto-Levy Index white paper. The study examines how declines in property values, such as those that might occur during a recession, could affect the performance of high-yield commercial real estate (CRE) debt.
The paper uses data from the Giliberto-Levy High-Yield Debt Index, also known as the G-L 2, the first and only third-party measure for monitoring high-yield commercial mortgage debt. The G-L 2 tracks high-yield loans representing a variety of property types and multiple categories of mortgages. It gives high-yield investors insight that was not previously available.
The white paper assesses exposure to the loss of principal in the G-L 2. It shows that such debt appears to offer reasonable downside protection up to and including a reduction in real estate values similar to what occurred as a result of the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC).
The white paper also notes that marking investment values to market is not the same as realizing a loss. During the GFC, some positions were marked near zero and later recovered as the economy rebounded. Other positions did experience losses up to and including 100% write-offs. The study’s analysis applies to either scenario: temporary “paper” losses or unrecoverable “real” losses.
Investors in high-yield CRE debt should remain vigilant, the white paper concludes.
Published on a quarterly subscription basis, the G-L 2 Index was co-created by John B. Levy, president of John B. Levy & Company, and investment manager Michael Giliberto. The pair also publish the Giliberto-Levy Commercial Mortgage Performance Index (G-L 1), which has supplied a quarterly performance benchmark for investments in private market first-mortgage real estate debt since 1993.
