Podcasts about Credit risk

Asset-based lending is booming—but one key challenge remains: can you actually trust the value of your collateral? In this episode, Charlie sits down with Thomas Galbraith, CEO of Barkr, to explore why asset valuations have historically been inconsistent, how private credit stepped in as banks pulled back, and how new, data-driven approaches are helping lenders better understand and manage risk in this growing space.Send us Fan MailFor more information on BankTalk:BankTalk  WebsiteSubscribe to BankTalk NewsRemedy Consulting WebsiteRemedy LinkedInTo speak on the BankTalk Podcast, please  email us. 

Faced with slowing domestic growth and rising geopolitical tensions, China is changing its export strategy and selling different things, to different customers, in different places.  Electric vehicles, solar panels and AI-enabled services are replacing low-cost manufactured goods. And the destination? Increasingly, emerging markets in Southeast Asia, Latin America and beyond. China's evolving overseas footprint will have far-reaching credit consequences. From autos in Europe to metals in Latin America and clean energy infrastructure in Asia, this is a global story with local credit impact. The looming question remains: who can adapt and who will buckle under the sustained pressure?

 | WFC Classic: Rating Commercial Credit Risk — What NCUA Expects

In the latest episode of our “Securitisation Insights” podcast, Mudasar Chaudhry, who leads our European Structured Finance Research team, was joined by Kevin Stephenson, Managing Director, Head of APAC Credit Ratings, and Ketan Thaker, Managing Director, European Real Estate & NPL Ratings, to discuss Australian and UK residential mortgage guarantee schemes. Our analysts dive into a topic that sits at the intersection of housing policy, property markets, and credit risk. In Australia, the government's expanded 5% deposit scheme is making it easier for first-time buyers to enter the market, but also raising important questions about affordability, house prices, and the risks embedded in high loan-to-value ratio lending. In the UK, the government is taking a more modest approach to its mortgage guarantee framework with a far less visible impact on the housing market. This episode addresses a key question: how do these differing government policy choices shape housing demand, market dynamics, and ultimately the credit risk to which investors are exposed?

In this episode of The Wrap, Chris Whalen breaks down what's really driving the rally, why the inflationary impact of the Iran war will stay with us through the end of 2026, and why the Fed's hands are essentially tied regardless of who sits in the chair. Chris also digs into Q1 bank earnings — what the numbers are really saying about credit risk, why most banks are still refusing to disclose their private credit exposures, and why he believes the debt in these deals will ultimately be converted to equity — with retail and institutional investors left holding the bag. Plus: commercial real estate as a long-term drag on cities, the New York pied-à-terre tax as political theater, gold and silver ETF picks, and why Chris says the U.S. equity market would be "comfortable with the devil by lunchtime."

Dr. Lupin Rahman, leading sovereign debt expert and author of The Sovereign Debt Investor, joins Tellimer Founder & CEO Duncan Wales to discuss why sovereign credit risk is no longer confined to emerging markets, and how the EM playbook is increasingly shaping global fixed income. Drawing on Lupin's experience at PIMCO, the IMF, and the World Bank, the conversation explores how rising debt burdens in advanced economies are turning sovereign debt into an active driver of market volatility, challenging traditional assumptions around the risk-free rate. They also examine the importance of policy credibility, geopolitics and scenario-based risk pricing, the growing role of ESG as a core component of sovereign analysis, and how digitisation, tokenisation, and stablecoin adoption could transform sovereign issuance and investor access as global markets enter a more complex and differentiated phase in 2026.The Emerging Markets Podcast by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tellimer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Emerging Markets, Connected.

Most leaders assume AI and search already see the whole internet. In reality, they all operate on the same tiny slice of the web.In this episode of IT Visionaries, host Chris Brandt sits down with Sudheesh Nair, Co-Founder and CEO of TinyFish and former CEO of ThoughtSpot, to unpack why only a small percentage of the web is indexable and how that cripples enterprise AI.Sudheesh explains why the next breakthrough won't come from bigger models or better search, but from agents that can operate the web at scale, logging in, filling forms, running workflows, and surfacing the long tail of opportunities that never appear on page one. He also shares why human craft, taste, and presence will matter more than ever in an agent-driven world. Key Moments:00:00 - The Deep Web Problem02:48 - The Amazon Search Trap04:26 - Why Search is Broken07:01 - Internet is No Longer a Library08:29 - AI Answers vs Blue Links13:05 - Introducing Tiny Fish's Mission16:00 - Search as a Poor Experience18:29 - The Deep Web: APIs, Workflows & Logins22:11 - Tackling the 93% Problem25:47 - The Eight-Room Hotel Success Story29:04 - Operating the Web vs Skimming It32:42 - Real-Time Personalized Workflows38:31 - Enterprise B2B Strategy40:18 - Taste Over Tools43:08 - AI Freeing Human Experience46:36 - Travel Experiences & Local Discovery50:00 - Democratizing the Internet56:39 - The Waving Guide in China1:01:12 - Optimism for AI's Future -- This episode of IT Visionaries is brought to you by Meter - the company building better networks.

Hello, and welcome to Cash Flow Conversations, a new podcast miniseries sponsored by Nova Credit. If you've followed my work, you'll know that I'm obsessed with cash flow data (and underwriting more specifically). That's because it has enormous potential to positively reshape consumer lending in the U.S. As banks, credit unions, and fintechs move from theory to practice, this series will chronicle how cash flow data is being put to work across the lending lifecycle. Episode 1 sets the tone for the series, featuring a live panel I moderated at Nova Credit's Cash Flow Underwriting Summit earlier this month. Joining me are: Chris McCall, Head of Consumer Credit and Pricing at Citizens Bank Bill Garber, SVP, Credit Policy and Analytics at Navy Federal Credit Union Munish Pahwa, EVP and Chief Risk Officer at Sallie Mae We dig into how cash flow data stacks up against traditional credit data, what it means for lenders' models, how it changes the borrower experience, the guardrails around it — and why getting a clearer view of consumers' financial lives is vital in today's uncertain environment. Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I enjoyed facilitating it! Subscribe now to catch the rest of Cash Flow Conversations as it comes. This miniseries is brought to you by Nova Credit. Nova Credit is a credit infrastructure and analytics company that enables businesses to grow responsibly by harnessing alternative credit data.  The company is a CRA that leverages its unique data infrastructure, compliance framework, and credit expertise to help lenders fill in the gaps that exist in traditional credit analytics.  Deploy cash flow underwriting confidently with Nova Credit's proven platform.

In this episode, Craig McGrouther sits down with Marcin Drozdz of M1 Capital, who shares his 20-year journey from buying his first property at 19 to raising $300M for Ken McElroy during the 2008 crisis. Marcin reveals how he bought medical amd dental plazas for 20-30 cents on the dollar during the GFC, targeting insurance-backed tenants that remained recession-proof. He breaks down the "3 P's" of fund raising: People, Process, then Property – inverting the typical syndication approach. Recently closing a Houston deal at $77K/door with discretionary capital, Marcin explains why having "money in the bank" creates massive negotiating leverage. Looking ahead, he warns of potential credit tightening that could force a pure equity environment, fundamentally changing how deals get done. His contrarian take: we may be heading into stagflation where assets collapse in real value while appearing to rise on paper.Learn more about LSCRE:www.lscre.com

Welcome back to Model Citizens: AI Compliance for Banks and Fintech Lenders, a six-part miniseries from the Fintech Takes podcast in partnership with FairPlay.  With FairPlay's Kareem Saleh (Founder & CEO) at my side, we unpack: how can banks and fintechs build fair, compliant lending systems in a time of regulatory uncertainty? In Episode 2, we're joined by Kevin Moss (Senior Advisor at Baselayer, former CRO) and Andrada Pacheco (EVP & Chief Data Scientist at VantageScore) to explore how AI is reshaping credit modeling, and where caution is still very much required. We trace the evolution from decision trees and logistic regression to gradient boosting, cash flow data, and the emergence of AI. Along the way, we tackle the core dilemma: how to boost predictive power without losing explainability or fairness. Highlights include: Why better performance often comes at the cost of transparency (and how to bridge the gap with hybrid models) AI isn't new in credit risk modeling; tree-based methods like CART, CHAID, and gradient boosting have been around for decades (what's changing now is the scale, the data, and the complexity) LLMs are great for fraud, operations, and consumer education, but they're not safe for credit decisions just yet) Fairness is expanding: Disparate impact enforcement may be fading federally, but state attorney generals and plaintiffs' attorneys are picking up the slack. We close with a reminder: credit modeling doesn't just need to be effective. It needs to be explainable, equitable, and defensible; especially as AI raises the stakes.

How much credit risk is in the market? Equities get the headlines but the world runs on credit. Jamie Dimon recently declared that credit was a “bad risk” on the heels of Moody’s downgrading the U.S. credit rating and a spike in the 10 Year Treasury yield. Suddenly, the boring old credit and bond markets are all the rage on the financial news channels, and it goes much deeper than treasuries. Today’s episode examines the scope of the global credit market and unpacks the difference between the systemic threat posed in the global financial crisis (GFC) and the looming credit crisis today. And, it shows how the big corporations prepared for the gathering storm by rewriting the rules of the game after the GFC. The big guys are fairly insulated from any sort of looming credit shock, but the rest of us are pretty much toast. Access the episode resources.

In this week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, guest host Jessica Vaughan, the Center's director of policy studies, discusses the intersection of immigration policy and municipal finance with Ed Grebeck, a veteran credit market risk expert. About one-third of all municipal bonds issued in 2024 and outstanding through 2024 are from sanctuary jurisdictions, concentrated in large cities and states, such as California, New York, and Massachusetts.Vaughan and Grebeck explore the fiscal implications of sanctuary policies and the need for comprehensive risk assessment in municipal finance. The absence of truly objective bond ratings or comprehensive risk assessments for sanctuary jurisdictions may place investors, particularly individual investors, who own a significant share of this market, at a disadvantage. Sanctuary policies can impose significant burdens on taxpayers, potentially affecting a municipality's fiscal health and its ability to meet financial obligations. Key discussion points include:Why are credit ratings important?Do sanctuary policies compromise a city's creditworthiness?Why might credit rating agencies overlook political risks associated with sanctuary jurisdictions?How does the influx of illegal immigrants strain public resources and affect taxpayers?Would legislative measures, like Rep. Nancy Mace's "No Tax Breaks for Sanctuary Cities Act", address these concerns?In the closing commentary, Vaughan presents the findings from her most recent report on sanctuary jurisdictions, identifying the states and localities that have the most egregious non-cooperation policies leading to the release of tens of thousands of criminal aliens.HostJessica Vaughan is the Director of Policy Studies at the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestEd Grebeck is a veteran credit market risk expert.RelatedSanctuary MapWhich Sanctuary Jurisdictions Have Released the Most CriminalsNo Tax Breaks for Sanctuary Cities ActContact Details for Ed GrebeckIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.
