Make internal risk appetite limits an explicit part of business strategy development and ensure that these permeate to the front lines to influence risk/return decision-making at the point of origination.

Structure a multi-layered facility structure built on an entity credit hierarchy to do risk aggregation for single entity as well as an entity group.

View risk-mitigant allocations across entity hierarchies.

Track key actions and deal documents to improve traceability and transparency.

Structure credit facilities

The design of a house, its structure and features, directly impact a homeowner’s tenure and happiness in it. The same is true of commercial credit facilities. Our commercial lending solutions support building different facility structures, enabling entity risk aggregation for accurate determination of facility risk.

Define entity relationships and hierarchies

Correctly capturing and processing complex relationships, such as those resulting from cross-collateralization or cross-guarantees, is critical to understanding direct and indirect risks in origination and assigning them to their correct owner. Looking at the entire deal structuring process, identifying who owns the collateral and who is providing the guarantee is critical for effective risk mitigation.
