We believe our capital position and investment portfolio – largely composed of first mortgages on income-producing commercial assets – have positioned us well to get through these uncertain times. That said, given the pervasiveness of the crisis and its uncertain duration, we continue to monitor the loan portfolio and borrower clients very closely.”Quarterly ComparisonQuarterly Conference Call
