CMBS Conduit Loans
Securitization
Each loan originated by a conduit lender is put into a class (AAA through BB or unrated) according to such factors as the property condition/desirability, LTV and DSCR. A particular CMBS offering that might be purchased by an investor is made up of a cross-section of a group of loans, the total balance of which might be, for instance, $1 billion. Each of these small cross sections therefore contains pieces of different classes of loans; these "pieces" are called "tranches" or "strips". The majority of tranches in a particular offering are made up of AAA or AA loans so that the income on these superior quality investments can absorb any shortfalls from the lower-grade tranches. As the CMBS servicer (whether this is the conduit lender that originated the loans or an outside company) collects interest payments on the various loans that make up the offering, it distributes these payments to the investors in priority of the rating of the tranches that make up the offerings the investors own (i.e. AAA tranches have first priority to be paid).

Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS)
Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities are a type of security investment secured by commercial mortgages. CMBS are generated by so-called "conduit" lenders, who originate commercial mortgages with the aim of securitizing them, arrange them into asset pools, and sell standardized sections of these pools to investors on the open market. The interest payments on the properties securing the CMBS offerings are passed through to the investors as interest income.
CMBS conduit lenders continue to grow in importance in the commercial mortgage market, and are now the main source for large term loans. Conduit loans can save millions in interest and pre-payment expenses over the life of a loan, are available in almost all loan amounts, and are generally assumable to boot.
