Introduction
The sample shows how to build a model that can be used to standardize credit ratings and ranking.
Scenario
There are several agencies that provide credit rating systems. They do not attach a hard number of probability to default. So in a credit risk determination, those ratings of different agencies must be standardized for a particular product and specific financial organization. In this example, we used different credit ratings from external agencies such as Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch to create a standardized system to combine the rating from different agencies and rank them against a standard rating.
Running the Sample
- Open the file DetermineStandardRating.xml
- Click on the Logic Run template.
- Click on any given template.
- Debug the sample by clicking on the debug button in the Logic Run Template window.
- You can click the ‘Next Step’ button to go step by step to follow the flow.
- Now you can see the output values in the ‘Parameters’ window. Check the value on ExternalCreditRating
Process Steps
The process contains the following steps to Determine Standard Ranked Rating.
- Standard Credit Rating: Mapping and Combining the Credit Rating of multiple agencies to a “Standard Rating”
- Credit Rating Rank: Ranking “Standard Rating”
- Selecting the “Standard Credit Rating” based on the Rank.
Project Description
The project contains the following documents.
Decision Graph
- DetermineStandardRating.xml – shows the main decision flow
- StandardCreditRating.xml – combining the Credit Rating
Decision Table
- FITCH.xml – derive standard rating from native FITCH rating
- MOODY.xml – derive standard rating from native MOODY rating
- SP.xml – derive standard rating from native S&P rating
- CreditRatingRank.xml – ranking the standard rating
Fact Concept
- RankedRatingConcept.xml – Define ‘ExternalCreditRating’ and ‘StandardRankedRating’ objects
The Flow Design
- Define the ExternalCreditRating as an input object and StandardRankedRating as an output object.
- RankedRatingConcept.xml
2. StandardCreditRating.xml : Mapping and Combining the Credit Rating of multiple agencies to a “Standard Rating .
3. FITCH.xml, MOODY.xml, SP.xml: Mapping native agency ratings against standard rating. Following Decision table shows the sample of MOODY’s rating mapping.
4. CreditRatingRank.xml – Ranking against the Standard Rating. This Decision Table ranks the credit ratings on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 22 (highest) highest rank as below.
5. DetermineStandardRating.xml : The main Decision Graph for determine the standard ranked rating using Standard Credit Rating and Credit Rating Rank with the use of CTRISKS Rating Standard(knowledge source).
