Regional banks' troubles aren't over and remain "an area of concern", JPMorgan Asset Management's Jonathan Liang said. They are facing increased risks of credit losses in the commercial-property sector, which may come under stress, he said. And so we think that in the coming year or two, there's going to be growing distress in this space, and that will also potentially amount to credit losses for those US regional banks," he added. Many experts have warned the US commercial real-estate sector could face problems as high borrowing costs and tighter credit conditions following the recent banking turmoil complicate matters for big property owners as they seek to refinance loans. Nearly $450 billion in commercial real-estate debt is due to mature in 2023 - meaning a final payment on those loans are due, per data cited from Trepp by JPMorgan.
Market veteran Howard Marks is sounding the alarm on commercial real estate, with an anticipated wave of mortgage defaults set to add stress to the financial system. The longtime investor called commercial real estate loans "one of the biggest worries" U.S. banks face today in the face of higher interest rates and a looming recession. "Higher interest rates call for higher demanded capitalization rates, which will cause most real estate prices to fall," Marks said. To be sure, Marks said he's not sure if banks will suffer losses on their commercial real estate loans, or what the magnitude will be. "Mortgage defaults generally don't signal the end of the story, but rather the beginning of negotiations between lenders and landlords," Marks said.
Howard Marks says interest rates won't return to zero anytime soon. The billionaire investor warns the ballooning US federal debt may cause problems in the future.

Guest view: Direct lending may be entering new era

NEW YORK, April 13 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Challenges in the banking system are expanding the opportunities available to direct lenders. I believe direct lenders’ market share will increase significantly in the future due to the substantial mismatch of supply and demand that has emerged in the market for funding large-scale LBOs. Direct lenders, including funds at Oaktree, are now seeking to fill this gap. Not all direct lenders will be able to take advantage of this opportunity, though. This, in turn, is attracting interest and capital from those direct lenders able to fill the massive gap.
The unraveling of fintech darling Vise

It was April, and more than two dozen salespeople who worked for the fintech startup Vise had been ordered to a multiday off-site at the W Hoboken hotel in New Jersey to share exhaustive reports on their performance. Even salespeople at bigger, established, top-tier investment-management firms typically wouldn't close $250 million in a year, multiple sales employees said. (K-means clustering is an unsupervised machine-learning algorithm often referred to as a form of AI, Vise's founders said). (Vise's founders disputed this, saying the company received updated financial data only once a day for its portfolio-construction engine.) And to address its "leaky funnel" of overestimating prospective sales, Vise was to stop outreach to new clients while it onboards and upsells to existing clients, the document said.

Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via EmailWatch CNBC's full interview with Oaktree Capital's Howard MarksHoward Marks, Oaktree Capital Management co-chairman, joins 'Closing Bell' to discuss the 'sea change' in the market, if the last fourteen years almost a 'bubble' and how investors should prepare for next year.
The market is entering a massive regime shift after about 14 years of easy money and low interest rates, and that could make it harder to find solid returns from some assets, according to Oaktree Capital Management's Howard Marks. During that period, investors have benefited from low rates that created an ideal environment for borrowers and asset owners, the famed investor said on CNBC's " Closing Bell " on Friday. During this time, many investors joined the market, with low-interest rates encouraging demand for riskier assets, Marks said. "It isn't normalcy, and it's not — I don't think — going to be the norm going forward," he said. Going forward, interest rates hovering in this range and higher returns on assets like high-yield bonds should deter investors from buying riskier assets, Marks added.
Market veteran Howard Marks said higher rates and safer returns are signs of the market's third-ever sea change in his 53-year investing career. Memos from Oaktree Capital Management's Marks have gained a wide following on Wall Street, and even legendary investor Warren Buffett has said he reads them regularly and always learns something from them. Credit investors became able to demand higher returns and better creditor protections," Marks said. The investor warned that because of the sea change, investments that have worked well in the past might start to underperform in the coming years. "That's the sea change I'm talking about."
This year's extreme volatility has kept investors on edge, but market veteran Howard Marks believes that none of the short-term risks should matter. "Investors should find a way to keep their hands off their portfolios most of the time," Marks said in the memo. The S & P 500 has fallen nearly 16% this year. "Consistently buy an S & P 500 low-cost index fund," Buffett said in 2017. "Think of participating in the long-term performance of the average as the main event and the active efforts to improve on it as 'embroidery around the edges,'" Marks wrote.
Everyone approaches money differently, and I've always been fascinated by how the world's wealthiest people do it. For starters, rich people don't have a "lottery mindset" — or the belief that there's a shortcut to instant wealth by virtue of random luck. The most financially successful people have a passion for solving puzzles — and they treat the stock market the same way. "Because no one wants to get rich slowly," Buffett replied. Rich people say "no" more than they say "yes."

As David Solomon, Goldman Sachs' CEO, was wrapping up a work trip in late July, he boarded the company's Gulfstream G650 for Chicago. His personal account cites his role as Goldman Sachs' CEO, while his official Goldman Sachs account links to his personal account.

The Goldman representative disputed that characterization, saying the number of executive TV appearances has more than doubled over the past year. A Goldman representative said that Payback is run by music-industry consultants and that no Goldman Sachs resources are used for the platform.
