The upgrade includes the ability to capture market exposure, rating changes and default risks within a value-at-risk framework, Fuchs, head of RiskMetrics credit business. CreditManager consolidates and compares risks and opportunities across a corporation's entire credit business: bonds, credit derivatives and traditional lending such as commitments and letters of credit and, for banks, the retail business. Fuchs adds that CreditManager now includes enhanced stress testing, securitization exposure and a suite of advisory services.
