Why Credit Benchmark?

Point-in-Time term structures provide comparability for the impairment process

In addition to “through the cycle” probabilities of default, Credit Benchmark also collects and aggregates Point-in-Time (PIT) PD curves from a growing number of global banks, allowing our clients to access a comprehensive set of consensus term structures at entity-, sector-, industry-, geographical level.

Leveraging the insights provided through the benchmarking outputs, clients are able to identify, justify and articulate the key drivers of variance in expected credit loss and provisions to both internal and external stakeholders.

Case Study

  The Client
The model validation team at a major UK-based Bank

The Challenge
The model validation team wanted to implement a robust model monitoring and validation framework for IFRS 9 utilising a representative independent dataset. They were also looking to help justify amendments to models and validation framework to auditors and regulators.

The Solution
Credit Benchmark’s Consensus Term Structures facilitated like-for-like benchmarking on an economically representative proportion of the bank’s portfolio. Independent and representative data allowed for tangible justification to internal and external stakeholders and formed a central part of their validation and monitoring framework.
