FICO® Portfolio Stress Testing

FICO® Portfolio Stress Testing gives you a better way to forecast your losses and make critical decisions. With FICO's stress testing methodology and platform, your loss forecasting and risk management teams can better understand the impact of macro-economic factors and policy changes on loss forecasts and portfolio performance. Based on the insights gained, our consultants can work with you to set the appropriate strategies to mitigate risk or manage growth, improving your business performance under a variety of economic conditions.
Key Benefits
  • Improve your loss forecasting predictions. Traditional loss forecasting methods only consider the portfolio's historical behavior. FICO Portfolio Stress Testing allows you to make more accurate loss forecasts by taking into account the impact of forward-looking market conditions and policy changes.
  • Meet Basel II and other regulatory requirements. Regulators require assurances that portfolios can withstand economic downturns and banks have considered these in their calculations for provisioning and capital. FICO has worked with leading lending institutions across the world that insist on pursuing a best-in-class approach to retail risk management. Our approach can help you achieve Basel compliance and build a solid, lasting competitive advantage.
  • Create more robust strategies that take into account possible changes in customer behavior. In order to maximize the benefits of stress testing, lenders should use the insights gained to make better tactical portfolio management decisions. FICO is an ideal partner to help you develop your stress testing initiative and identify the actions you should take to "stress-proof" your portfolio.
  • Gain access to leading edge analytic techniques, designed to tackle the key challenges faced by lenders. With FICO, you gain access to a dedicated team of analytic talent who are committed to solving the tough problems you face when developing stress testing frameworks. We know how to address issues such as predicting the asymmetric impact of a positive versus negative change in the economy, teasing out macroeconomic effects from traditional portfolio effects, and forecasting the impact of economic conditions given limited historical data.
  • Better communicate with senior management. By leveraging FICO's best practice methodology and platform for your bank's stress testing initiative, you now have a consistent and cohesive approach to communicate insights gained.
Feature Highlights
  • Customized models linking market conditions to your portfolio's metrics of interest. Through these models, you can gain greater insight into how your portfolio risk will vary based on forward-looking market conditions.
  • What-if analysis using simulation software. Our advanced simulation software, with your custom models embedded, enables you to conduct what-if analysis to identify the key vulnerabilities in your portfolio, and determine which actions will serve you best.
  • Consulting from FICO experts. Our experienced industry consultants work with you to determine the most appropriate actions to take on your portfolio based on the insights gained through stress testing. Using our service, you can start making better decisions before change hits.
  • Expertise from an industry leader
    Our consultants are experts not only in financial services but in the analytic techniques that derive more value from data. And unlike most providers, we have aided companies through growth cycles and recessionary periods. We know more about how to see the trouble that's coming, and how to identify the signs of an upswing.
