Optimize your ACL, Integrate your Stress Test
Since the onset of the CECL standard, institutions have struggled to implement an effective, repeatable solution that they can understand. Many CECL solutions provide a complex black-box model that do not provide the bank with a concrete understanding of the model's behavior. This creates a uncertainty around results and disallows the CECL model to be used for other critical functions.
The Invictus ACL service provides an open-book approach to CECL. With compelling loan-level ACL results that you can easily recreate yourself. With this deep understanding of the model's capabilities we can begin to integrate the ACL model into other critical functions found throughout the Capital Stack.
You Stress Testing and CECL models can and should be fully integrated!
An Integrated CECL Framework
Once you understand the model - the applications become virtually endless. An effective ACL model can support all levels of the stack from loan pricing and profitability to capital and strategic planning.
