Why we made this chart
The SEC.gov ABS-EE filing is freely available to everyone and contains extremely valuable information about loans and properties in Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) deals. We discuss some of the ways to access this information on the Data Sources page. Dealcharts.org is able to leverage our data pipelines to produce charts from this free data that you can download and re-use in your work. These charts are fairly simple but hopefully they can provide value in a number of possible ways:
- Save you time from creating the chart yourself if you just need a super quick confirmation.
- A place where you can double check your work. Verify a chart you have created against one of ours - data from two sources is better than one!
- Discover new datasets and their capabilities to answer questions - then go get the dataset and do your own analytics!
- Discover new styles of charts and new visualization techniques - get inspired by our talented Creators.
- Re-use our charts in your own committee documents or investor presentations. We can make the simple charts for you so you have more time to make the hard ones.
How We Made This Chart Our geographic distribution chart highlights the top 5 states for CMBS deals based on the percentage of the pool. Here’s a detailed look at how we created this chart using our metadata-first data strategy:
Collecting Metadata:
We began by collecting metadata from the Reg AB II Asset-level Requirements. Specifically, we focused on the state of each property and its corresponding balance within the CMBS deal. This involved gathering data schemas and identifying key data points such as property location and their share of the total pool. Curating Metadata:
After collecting the raw metadata, we curated it to focus on the most relevant information for visualizing geographic distribution. This involved filtering the data to include only the states with the highest percentages of the total pool. We organized the data to highlight the top 5 states, making it easy to compare their contributions to the overall pool of the CMBS deal. Operationalizing Metadata:
Using our advanced data pipelines, we transformed the curated metadata into a visual format. This process involved automating the creation of tables that clearly represent the top states by percentage of the pool. We also created versions for the top 10 states and all states within the deal, ensuring comprehensive coverage and flexibility for different analytical needs. If you want to see distribution by other metrics such as property type or loan size, feel free to email us.
