Fitch Ratings has launched a new tool that vastly improves transparency on new U.S. CMBS transactions.

The Interactive Deal Tool (IDT) allows investors to view Fitch's loan-level analysis and assumptions across all properties in new CMBS deals while affording them several new features and benefits.

The IDT is easily launched via a button located at the top of each new CMBS presale report. One of its most prominent new features is a loan-level sensitivity analysis tool that can be utilized to analyze each loan in the pool. Importantly, the tool is easily manipulated, allowing users to save directly to their desktop and avoiding the need for learning yet another software program.

Rapid access to this information is an important advancement seeing as investors often have very little time to analyze new CMBS deals before they close. The IDT allows users to quickly drill down to the data most relevant to them and print what they want with just a few clicks. The product will initially focus on Fitch-rated conduit CMBS transactions, though this may be expanded over time.

An instructional video detailing the use of Fitch's new, interactive CMBS presale reports is available in the 'Multimedia' section of Fitch's web site at 'www.fitchratings.com'. Fitch published the first of its new CMBS presales yesterday. 'COMM 2015-LC19 Mortgage Trust' is available at 'www.fitchratings.com' or by clicking on the link at the end of the press release.
