Financial Products & Associated Risk Management

Credit Risk Mitigation - Part 1

Overview

This eCourse consists of two modules. Module 1 introduces the concept of credit risk mitigation and outlines the two broad categories of mitigation - funded and unfunded. The benefits of mitigation are described, and its impact on expected loss is demonstrated. The module also discusses the taking and management of mitigation, the different types of mitigant used, and the various risks associated with credit risk mitigation.

Module 2 discusses the use of collateral (or security) as a credit risk mitigant, describing the motivations for collateral usage from the point of view of collateral takers and providers. The module also examines the increasingly important and ever-evolving role of a bank's collateral management function. Finally, the module describes the various types of collateral taken as security and the attractions/drawbacks of each as a credit risk mitigant.
