CEC-X Logo

A Neutral Platform that Uses the Capital Markets to Reallocate Credit Risk and Reduce Regulatory Capital Burdens for Lending Institutions Making Commercial Real Estate Loans.

Matches Senior CRE Loan Credit Exposures to Institutional Investors Via Standardized Proprietary Credit Enhancement Contracts Called CECS.

CECs are Eligible Guarantees,   

that Provide Uniform Regulatory Capital       Relief for CRE Lenders and are Collateralized by Investors Seeking Enhanced CRE Credit Exposure.

"...CECs can provide

CRE lenders with an alternative to offload risk, receive valuable regulatory capital relief, increase return on equity (ROE) related to bank CRE lending operations and maintain long term CRE borrower relationships."
