WASHINGTON, DC--Life insurance company commercial mortgage originations shot up last year by 21% compared to originations in 2014, according to the preliminary results of the CREFC/Trepp Portfolio Lender Survey for the second-half of 2015. The biannual survey in which 25 insurance companies participate, tracks the performance of their combined $204 billion in loan exposure.
The main reason for the increase in originations was the need for greater yield, Sonal Paradkar, assistant vice president of Product Management at Trepp told GlobeSt.com.
Parakdar presented the results at the Portfolio Lenders Forum during the CRE Finance Council 2016 Annual Conference underway in New York this week.
