High interest rates, challenged fundamentals and tightening credit availability have made Commercial Real Estate one of the few distressed asset classes in the US right now. For specialized asset managers with unique underwriting capabilities like Waterfall, this presents a notable opportunity. Waterfall Partner and Head of Asset-Backed Credit Strategies Keerthi Raghavan dives into the dislocations within CRE and how investors can capitalize on them in his recently published whitepaper, ‘Prime Time: Seizing Opportunities in CRE Debt’.

About us
Waterfall Asset Management, LLC is an SEC-registered institutional asset manager focused on structured credit (asset-backed securities and loans) and private equity investments. Waterfall was founded in 2005 by Tom Capasse and Jack Ross, two individuals who were early leaders of the ABS industry, and who together have over 60 years of proven ABS/Loan credit analysis, trading, banking and servicing experience. Capasse and Ross started the ABS Group at Merrill Lynch in the 1980s and conducted the first ABS issuances for many of the more than 40 ABS sectors in which Waterfall invests. Waterfall has approximately $11 billion in assets under management. Waterfall utilizes a relative value approach to investing in structured credit and loan products. Leveraging the extensive experience of its founding partners and talented portfolio managers, the firm sources, analyzes, and purchases ABS and loan investments across multiple sectors globally in an effort to seek an attractive risk/return profile. This multi-sector specialization in both ABS and loans enables Waterfall to seek to provide its clients with attractive, competitive returns that are generally uncorrelated to most traditional investment sectors.

We’re excited to share that Waterfall recently closed CFMT 2024-HB15, its third private reverse mortgage securitization of this year. The deal was backed by a portfolio of 1,530 non-performing HECM loans with an unpaid principal balance of nearly $491 million. The transaction execution demonstrated growing interest in the reverse mortgage securitization market with heavy investor demand and constructive pricing across the capital stack. We look forward to continuing to support increased activity and transactions within the home equity financing market.
