Overview

01.

BlackRock's Securitized Assets platform draws upon sector expertise and global relative value determinations to seek portfolio outperformance regardless of market environment. The strategy offers exposure to securitized assets, which have unique risk, cash flow and borrower characteristics relative to many other sectors of fixed income.

02.

Securitized capabilities run across commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), including commercial mortgage loans (CMLs); non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), including mortgage servicing rights (MSRs); US and European collateralized loan obligations (CLOs); US consumer asset-backed securities (ABS); and European ABS.

03.

The team's investment process focuses on borrower attributes, collateral value, strength of structures, and ongoing surveillance at both the borrower and portfolio level. The team has developed a network of deep and longstanding external relationships that provides direct insights as well as origination, underwriting and servicing support.
