Solving CMBS and CRE CLO Challenges with Smart, Connected Analytics
KCP is KBRA Analytics’ monthly surveillance and analytics platform, built specifically for the needs of CMBS market participants, addressing core issues in the commercial real estate debt markets.
Add Transparency to Valuation Assumptions and Loss Forecasts
KCP relies on multiple valuation approaches to derive six proprietary loss scenarios with default and resolution timing estimates.
We offer complete valuation transparency, including detailed income approach assumptions and sales comparison insights so users can interpret our conclusions.
Our Loss Lookback reports compare actual liquidation outcomes to KCP’s prior loss estimates to support investor confidence in the reliability of our forecasting.
Optimize Analysis with Connected Data Sources
KCP delivers clean, structured data that reconciles investor reporting discrepancies, ensuring accuracy and consistency across your entire data workflow.
By capturing subordinate financing and non-trust debt, our platform facilitates comprehensive capital stack engineering for complex deal structures.
The platform consolidates performance metrics and analytical outputs into intuitive dashboards and exportable files, eliminating the need to search across multiple sources.
Efficiently Benchmark Across CMBS Cohorts
In-app tools allow users to apply detailed analytical filters and compare CMBS cohorts across a wide range of criteria.
Advanced search functionality, enhanced by integrated KCP Exposure Groups, pinpoints CMBS exposure to significant credit events and properties linked to tenant risks, sector-level distress, economic disruption, and natural disasters.
Performance metrics and KCP analysis can be evaluated across deals and user-defined portfolios.

Fully integrated with top data providers and cash flow engines, including Bloomberg, INTEXcalc, and Trepp, for efficient analysis and dependable output.
