Rate this book
Invaluable real-life insights into the developing area of active credit portfolio management (ACPM) from a team of Credit Suisse authors. It equips you with the tools and techniques needed for success in your own credit portfolio management.
For liquid credit risks, market-leading banks have already moved away from the classical buy-and-hold paradigm towards Active Credit Portfolio Management (ACPM). Today, this trend also applies to semi-liquid and even illiquid credit portfolios. The ACPM approach enables a more profitable management of credit risks, based on a risk/return-oriented active management of tailor-made hedging and investment measures with a focus on economic risk transfer, diversification, capital efficiency and profitable leverage.

It presents you with the latest thinking about ACPM, starting with a discussion of the various organisational frameworks and potential mandates for an ACPM unit, explaining mathematical concepts underlying portfolio management activities, elaborating investment and hedging cases and corresponding business cases and finally ending with fresh thoughts on the so-called cost-to-securitize as a valuable component in a pricing framework for illiquid credit risks.
