NEW YORK, March 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Trepp, a leading provider of data, insights, and technology solutions to the structured finance, commercial real estate (CRE), and banking markets, has released the Q4 2023 returns report for its life insurance commercial mortgage index.

In Q4 2023, LifeComps participants reported a total return of 4.93%, primarily driven by a large price appreciation, a reversal from the negative return in Q3. The closely watched office sector showed a large increase in returns, after a negative return in the previous quarter.
In terms of loan production, LifeComps portfolio origination volumes remain subdued in Q4, in the high-interest rate environment.
"The positive return for commercial mortgages is a direct result of lower long-end interest rates in Q4," said Benqing Shen, Director of Lending Product Management, at Trepp and report author. "However, with the uncertain rate outlook, the borrowers with loans maturing in 2024 will find refinancing challenging."
The LifeComps Commercial Mortgage Loan Index remains the only published benchmark for CRE mortgages based on actual performance data and cash flow collected from participating life insurance companies.
