Portfolio Stress Testing: One size does not fit all!
There are a variety of approaches to stress testing a (CRE) loan portfolio. Sophisticated, black box models are not always necessary to define potential areas of risk and to determine the impact on earnings and capital. Industry veterans Dave Kampff and Bob Koch discuss focusing on the simple factors that affect debt service coverage and collateral adequacy to foundationally assess a bank’s viability in adverse market conditions.
