Bringing risk-rating into the front-line lending and underwriting process
The CRE lending business of a leading super regional US Bank was seeking to understand
both tactically and strategically how best to improve risk adjusted returns in an income
producing and construction loan portfolio.
They also wished to reduce operation cost and risk.
PROMS is used by underwriters to improve the risk adjusted returns by modelling all new
loans with adjusting loan terms (amortisation timing and profile) as well as be adding reserve accounts,
cash-traps and sweeps to reduce expected loss without any reduction in margin.
Risk adjusted improvements are in the range of 5 to 25 bps in each loan.
