Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this finance training:

Banks worldwide are caught in a ‘doom-loop’. The record low interest rates that prevail globally have hurt bank profitability by reducing net interest margins. Simultaneously, stringent capital ratios imposed by regulations created in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008 have constrained banks’ ability to take risks. Alternatives to banks have emerged to provide liquidity and credit to various sectors of the economy, be it housing, traditional businesses, or even, venture funding.

Our course is intended for financial officers and asset managers to navigate the new environment of alternative finance. We define alternative finance as any kind of financing source that does not involve a formal regulated financial intermediary such as a bank, a mutual fund or a pension fund. There are two types of financing models. One extends current practices albeit at lower costs (the ‘better mousetrap’ model). The second uses alternative credit analytic models such as mobile phone data, social networks and other channels (the big data model).

The course examines which types of alternative finance sources are dominating all over the world using a set of unique benchmark surveys conducted annually by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance. We shall study a theoretical framework to understand how these alternative finance sources reduce information asymmetry. Specifically, we shall examine the role of signaling and screening models in evaluating credit worthiness, going beyond FICO scores to measure not merely a borrower’s ability to repay, but his intention to repay. We shall discuss how new technologies such as cryptocurrencies (BitCoin) and blockchain are increasing the speed of financial innovation. With the help of the concepts acquired from this course, the CFO will be in a better position to judge whether non-traditional sources of lending can play a role in firm financing. Asset managers will be able to evaluate the opportunities offered by these types of financing for their investors.

PROGRAM TOPICS:
  • The future of the banking industry
  • The changing role of financial intermediaries: From maturity conversion to asset management
  • The development of alternative finance platforms around the world: Who borrows and who invests
  • Alternative credit analytic metrics to measure credit-worthiness
  • Alternative payment systems such as cryptocurrencies and blockchains
WHO SHOULD ENROLL:
  • Credit analysts in the traditional lending sectors
  • Corporate finance professionals seeking a greater understanding of the alternative lending space
  • Investment banking professionals who provide advisory services to corporate clients
  • Asset managers seeking alternative investment opportunities for their clients
