Advan Research Announces Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) Foot Traffic Data

NEW YORK, February 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Advan Research Corporation, the leading provider of geolocation data and analytics platform serving the financial industry, has announced the launch of a CMBS pedestrian traffic counting product . Daily visitors, employees, residents and dwell times on every CMBS property, loan and transaction are now available on Advan’s FiT terminal and as a data feed. Traffic data is a clear leading indicator of CMBS spreads, which were provided by Solve Advisors for testing.

“CMBS investors have to wait 3 months or more to get net operating income from properties in each CMBS transaction; our pedestrian traffic and the number of employees offer the same visibility with a lag of one day. This is not only a completely new paradigm for the market, but it is especially important in these unprecedented times when historical assumptions about properties are difficult or impossible to apply, ”said Yiannis Tsiounis, Ph.D. , founder and CEO of Advan.

Advan’s foot traffic data has been used extensively by stock analysts over the past 5 years to accurately forecast the performance of 2,800 businesses, including all REITS shopping malls, hotels, hospitals, offices and residences, and other locations typically underlying CMBS transactions. The correlation between foot traffic and revenue is greater than 0.95 on an annual basis for many businesses. Advan has tested CMBS traffic data against live prices and spreads from Solve Advisor, and verified that these correlations not only hold, but also dominate the 1-3 month market.

“The part that excites us the most is that we can bring almost continuous data to a market that previously worked with quarterly and semi-annual fundamental updates. It’s a pretty revolutionary leap forward that will inevitably bring more transparency to a market that desperately needs it, ”added Grigorios Reppas, COO of Advan.
