• An institution can also set limits on financing certain sensitive economic (sub-) sectors, sovereigns, businesses or real estate exposures or even excluding some specific (sub-) sectors or borrowers from credit-granting that are not aligned with its climate-related risk appetite 
• Accordingly, it permits to include climate-related and environmental risks in all relevant stages of the credit-granting process and credit processing and to capture the opinion on how climate-related and environmental risks affect the borrower’s default risk
• Credit Precisor can be configured to consider climate-related and environmental risks in the collateral valuations and to give benefit to environmental compliant assets, and consequently adjusting prices of collaterals exposed to those risks 
• The risk-based loan pricing algorithm can be configured to deploy an ESG sensitive pricing framework. Loan pricing can be defined to reflect the different costs driven by climate-related and environmental risks  
• Credit Precisor Risk-Based LOAN Pricing’s algorithm can be configured to transmit the benefits of using lower cost liabilities thanks to green funding initiatives

Credit Precisor Risk-Based Loan Pricing permits a detailed profitability analysis for accurately structuring the transaction adding collateral, guarantees commissions, cross selling and other:

• Multistep profitability metrics: EVA, RAROC, RAROC, RORWA, ROTA, spread analysis and other are calculated over the life of the transaction and are reported on annual basis for each period and on a cumulative basis
• Transaction structuring impact analysis: as additional collateral, guarantees, insurance, cross selling or other is added to the transaction, the profitability analysis can be recalculated for the profitability impact evaluation
• Facility vs. client profitability: Credit Precisor Risk-Based Loan Pricing can provide multiple profitability views including a stand-alone transaction, application which may include multiple facilities and the client and/or group profitability view. It is possible to calculate the contractually secured cash-flows profitability or the assume the renewal of existing facilities to project the profitability into the future. Using the client profitability view it is possible to assess the appropriateness of a low profitability transaction to support a client relationship
• Ex-post profitability analysis: the facility, application, client or client group profitability can be analysed after approval given any potential changes in rating, expected recoveries, or other variables used for pricing
• Optimization of transaction terms: Credit Precisor Risk-Based Loan Pricing permits to optimise (e.g. break even) the spread, commissions, collateral or any other facility feature in order to achieve a minimum target profitability

Credit Precisor Risk-Based Loan Pricing permits to calculate Ex-Post profitability by loading all portfolio assets and evaluating the actual performance of each transaction looking the actual commissions charged, interest paid (i.e., arears interest rates), transaction actual length, etc. Portfolio analysis can be performed and compare the actual profitability to the profitability originally forecasted for the portfolio and each of the transactions. In addition, application, client, group or market segment profitability analysis can be generated to better define management strategy.

Today’s highly volatile business and macroeconomic environment makes the portfolio value be correspondingly volatile and the analysis of its potential value change in different macroeconomic of great value for the institution.
