DAI is geared to the investor who wants to tap into the sale of distressed assets, providing field-level guidance on the pitfalls and possibilities inherent in this area," said Michael Desiato, vice president–real estate for ALM. "We believe this newsletter will also deliver a solid, interested audience and platform for practitioners interested in promoting their capabilities."

Each issue of DAI features in-depth analysis of issues critical to the investment process, such as mark-to-market shifts and the impact of ratings agencies on valuations, as well as columns from industry experts in the fields of real estate law, appraisals, special servicing and finance. Editorial advisory board members and contributors include a wide variety of leaders and experts from the commercial real estate, finance and legal industries. Content partners Real Capital Analytics and Trepp will provide detailed data on specific properties and CMBS paper currently in some form of distress, including the listings of distressed asset addresses, prices, players and distress status.

DAI is fully digital and interactive. In addition to traditional text, the e-newsletter includes embedded video and active links to related content, such as additional data from content partners and e-mails to authors. The publication's interface allows readers to use multiple tools to read, scan and search content. DAI also offers a version for mobile devices, story video and an audio reader option.

In addition to the newsletter and increased distress coverage in GlobeSt.com and its magazines, the group's recent RealShare Conference on Distressed Assets attracted more than 300 industry professionals and featured speakers including Mark Grinis of Ernst & Young; Robert M. White, Jr. of RCA; Kevin Donohue of Midland Loan Services and Jeffrey A. Lenobel of Schulte Roth & Zabel.
