Certified Expert in NPL Management & Investment
Course Overview
Distressed debt recovery and corporate turnround!
The unfolding shocks in the world economy have defined a new risk environment for financial institutions. Banks, regulators and investors may soon need to tackle a new wave of distressed debt and non-performing loans (NPLs).
With the Certified Expert in Distressed Debt Recovery you will be equipped with key skills to manage loan defaults. You will learn to recognise debt distress among households and enterprises and to design best-practice restructuring solutions that recover loans, and return borrowers to financial health.
A core part of the course will deal with hands-on restructuring techniques, which will be simulated through a number of numerical exercises and case studies. To provide context for restructuring techniques we will cover best-practices in bank-internal workout units, and recent trends in regulation, supervision and insolvency law. We study real-life restructuring situations from Europe and emerging markets, also in case studies of corporate turnarounds.
Investment in NPL portfolios and distressed debt will be covered, as this present new opportunities in both regions. The economics of private sector debt distress and policies used to address such debt crises, will round off our programme.
