Amcanion cyffredinol

Credit risk analytics is one of the most successful uses of statistical modelling within financial institutions but its success isn’t only concerned with data and models; it requires a thorough understanding of business cycles and debt patterns, regulatory requirements, and the integration of quantitative techniques into the strategic management process.

The module examines the theory and practice of credit risk analytics and decision science in financial institutions. Topics include: the Merton default model, philosophy of risk analytics and scoring, default and losses calculations, validation, capital (both economic and regulatory) calculations, and credit portfolio management. Particular emphasis will be placed on topical areas within quantitative methods and regulatory requirements. The module will make extensive use of Excel and students will use trading software to gain practical experience of the methods discussed.
