Credit Risk Trends and Analytics

Ensure profitability in times of uncertainty.

With the onset of uncertain times, lenders need to be extra cautious as delinquencies and default rates tend to increase in a recession. Safeguarding your portfolio from such economic shocks should be your top priority. That means you require a throughout data-driven approach for credit-risk assessment. Then your credit-decision model should be the reflection of the same and needs to be continually fined tuned. Altair with Deep Credit Risk brings Credit Risk Trends and Analytics, a three-part webinar series on credit risk analytics with a focus on the pain points of developing models that reflect the driving economics.

Data preparation for income and expense shocks

4 April, 2023, Tue | 4 PM AEST/2 PM SGT/11:30AM IST/10 AM UAE

Having the right data for the analytics can give you better and more accurate results. In this webinar, we will try to understand the challenges in the credit risk industry. Build an understanding on the role of liquidity, equity, and many other key banking features. You will learn to do feature engineering and efficient selection for instance the impact of income and expense shocks on loan repayments.

You will be able to pre-process credit information, import information, and merge data from various sources. This will give you the confidence to build credit models accurately.

Build modern credit-risk models using Machine Learning

4 May, 2023, Thu | 4 PM AEST/2 PM SGT/11:30AM IST/10 AM UAE

With the right data, in this webinar, you will learn to build credit risk models through machine learning techniques and understand the impact of the economic downturn on the model outcome. You will develop a good understanding of the pitfalls of machine learning and the merits relative to econometric regression techniques. You will be able to predict defaults, payoffs, loss rates and exposures. You will be able to efficiently validate credit risk models. We will compare and interpret various validation strategies. You will learn how to build meaningful user interfaces, compare outputs for models in terms of stability, discrimination, and calibration and efficiently communicate outputs.
