Concentration Management - InFocus™

InFocus is designed to link loan concentration management with other risk management practices - in particular capital planning, loan level stress testing, and capital stress testing.


 Why InFocus?

Loan concentration policies are often a source  of pain for bank management. They serve as the 'bumpers' against aggressive growth - and that can make them unpopular. InFocus will allow you to link your concentration policies with your underwriting and capital profiles. It is completely customized to your institution.

CRE-Concentration-Regulatory

300% - Rule of Thumb

The most commonly cited concentration 'threshold' is the 300% CRE Concentration level. This level is often used as a standard threshold for 'too much risk.' But this arbitrary level does not consider your institution's capital profile or underwriting. 

CRE-Custom-Concentration-Limit

InFocus - Customized Concentration

With InFocus, we can use the loan level and capital stress testing to customize your maximum concentration level. We ask the question: at what level of concentration does your institutions fail to survive in a severely distressed environment. The answer to this question is your maximum concentration level.

Test Any Time

You can access your concentration management system any time. 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Test new concentration policies as you modify your strategy, or update your capital plan.
