Excerpt:

CRE Finance Council (CREFC) hosted its 14th annual High Yield, Distressed Assets & Servicing (HYDRA) Conference in New York City on March 31. In his opening remarks, Eric Thompson, Senior Managing Director and Global Head of Structured Finance Ratings at KBRA and CREFC Chair, pointed out that not only was the last HYDRA conference held two years ago shortly before pandemic lockdowns, but its return was marked by record attendance. The event, which had eight sponsors including KBRA, was the first HYDRA conference to be offered in hybrid format. Mr. Thompson cautioned that the marketplace is still seeing signs of distress as cash flows for certain property types have yet to stabilize and we are in the midst of a rising interest rate environment—topics that would be covered in the day’s panels from a variety of perspectives. The full-day program included five sessions with diverse subject areas such as Investing and Structuring CRE Sub-Debt to Distressed Asset Management.
