Reduce Risk by Applying Industry Intelligence to your Underwriting
Reduce Risk by Applying Industry Intelligence to your Underwriting
September 28 | October 12 | October 262:00 - 3:00 pm EDT
The primary function of an analyst is to “Protect the Bank’s Assets” while still growing the bank’s assets. To protect the bank’s assets, commercial bankers are tasked with identifying and mitigating many risks that vary from one industry to another. The best way to reduce risks inherent to lending is to have a team of analysts, portfolio managers, commercial bankers, and credit officers who understand the delicate balance between risk and return. While risks can never be fully eliminated, they can be significantly reduced by understanding a company, its industry, and the industries they serve.
In this course, you will learn how Industry Intelligence helps you generate stronger client relationships and a more thorough, compelling credit analysis. You will see how Vertical IQ can serve as an “experienced commercial banking partner” throughout the process.
