TSI Special Training plus: Cash Flow Modelling | online

https://www.true-sale-international.de/fileadmin/tsi_gmbh/tsi_downloads/Veranstaltungen/Sonstiges/veranstaltung_teaser_online.jpg


The workshop will guide participants through the cash flow modelling approaches of securitisations, with a specific focus on Auto and Consumer ABS as well as RMBS. Besides explaining the various elements and alternatives of typical structures, the workshop follows a step-by-step approach how to create a CFM in Excel from scratch.


Objectives for participants:

  • Setting up cash flow models for Auto and Consumer ABS
  • Modelling CPR, delinquency and default rate vectors and analysing the impact
    on cash flows
  • Creating output sheets and visualisations including WAL calculations and payment
    windows
  • Understanding and modelling of extensions such as revolving periods, call features,
    principal deficiency ledgers and overcollateralization structures with no excess
    spread
  • Modelling rating agency and stress scenarios
  • Better understanding the sensitivities and drivers when using web-based models
    from commercial vendors

Who should attend:

    The training is dedicated for securitisation professionals from originators, arrangers, investors, risk managers and service providers to ABS transactions, all who want to learn and understand cash flow modelling in a ‘bootcamp’ environment. While in practice many cash-flow models are provided by commercial vendors, the workshop deliberately follows a transparent approach in order to give participants a bottom-up understanding of cash flow issues. Given the focus on modelling in Excel, experience in Excel is a prerequisite for the workshop although VBA skills are not required.

    Microsoft Teams will be used as communication and presentation platform for the webinar, which can be accessed via App or a free-of-charge browser based version.
