Financial institutions
take risks, can lose a great deal of money and lend to each other on a huge scale. As such
the analysis of banks and NBFIs is of special importance in judging safety, profitability
and liquidity.
Though placing emphasis on
banks, this book is the first to how credit analysis of each major type of financial
institution is best approached in an environment of integration, consolidation and
globalisation within the financial services industry.
Seven sections discuss:
- credit analysis of
insurance companies;
- investment banks;
- commercial/universal
banks;
- finance companies;
- leasing companies;
- investment management
companies;
- pension funds.
Each section discusses
common techniques and their shortcomings when applied to financial institutions, industry
specific issues and how they are best approached.
The book provides a
framework that will enable a banker or analyst to effectively compile a meaningful view of
any institution
