Credit Portfolio Risk Management:

This advanced course focuses on credit portfolio risk management techniques, examining several of the models and approaches that have developed in the marketplace. It considers how credit derivatives and other risk mitigation methods can be used in the implementation of a credit portfolio risk management programme. There is a discussion of the relationship of credit risk to other risks faced by financial institutions - market risk, operational risk, liquidity risk etc.
The course examines these risks and the associated management tools and techniques within the broader context of the Value at Risk (VaR) approach to integrated risk management. VaR is important because it has the support of the banking regulators as an acceptable basis for the development of internal models of risk analysis, the return on capital and capital adequacy. Finally, the course addresses the policy, practice and process issues that need to be part of an integrated risk management programme within a financial institution.
