Commercial Banks vs Capital Markets Intermediaries

How are they different? Take HFF for example - on their website, they say they do "Debt Placement," "Loan Sales," and "Loan Servicing." How does this differ from real estate lending at a commerical bank?

The biggest and easiest difference between the two is that Commercial Banks are direct lenders and lend money from their own balance sheets. HFF is a service provider (broker), the activities you described are the services they offer.

HFF makes money from Fee Income alone. Example 1% fee for a debt placement deal.

Commercial Banks (WF, BofA, JPMC) make money from Fee Income and also from Interest Income (the spread between the cost of funds and they rate they charge their clients).

The companies I mentioned above are all public, take a quick peak at their financials/10k for more insight.

 

Voluptas non laborum est autem et eius. Aut tenetur assumenda nihil non architecto aperiam minus. Esse deserunt omnis dolore earum possimus dolor omnis. Dolorum vero magni ipsum deserunt est aut. Ab aut ipsum assumenda quam asperiores.

Ducimus voluptates nisi blanditiis ab est quis. Doloribus sit doloremque nesciunt qui fugiat aliquam ab iste. Dicta iusto unde molestiae sed.

Molestiae sunt repudiandae aut. Sed error quae blanditiis et id. Dolores debitis officia sunt unde provident.

Ullam culpa enim nisi voluptatibus libero ut itaque eligendi. Aspernatur a consequatur nulla qui quas iure a. Nisi quis est est cum eveniet eos neque.
