Life Companies and Commercial/Multifamily Lending
Life insurance companies are important sources of capital for commercial and multifamily real estate lending.
MBA supports the state-based model for insurance regulation and appropriate reductions to the federal regulation of insurance, including SIFI designation and regulation. MBA seeks to preserve or improve on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) regulatory capital regime for CRE mortgages and real estate to support life companies’ investment portfolios across all economic conditions. In addition, MBA also actively advocates for reasonable risk-based capital requirements for insurance companies, where required capital levels are commensurate with risk.
