NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases its KBRA Credit Profile (KCP) K-LOC Index for the month of March.
K-LOC Index
The KBRA Loan of Concern (K-LOC) Index was 8.02% in March 2019. During the month, there were 41 K-LOCs identified across our coverage universe of post-crisis (2.0) CMBS, with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $665.1 million.
About the Index
The March 2019 Index is a composite of 1,280 K-LOCs with an aggregate UPB of $23.76 billion across 281 post-crisis conduit transactions. For any given cohort, the Index is the quotient of its aggregate K-LOC balance and the cohort’s defeasance adjusted UPB. As it includes loans at risk of default, it is a useful, forward-looking credit barometer, and leads the current CMBS conduit delinquency rate by a factor of 8.77. However, it is a more refined gauge of credit risk than the servicer watchlist, as the K-LOC designation is determined by our team of analysts, which perform in-depth monthly analysis on individual transactions and the underlying loan collateral.
