Structured Finance Analysis and Modeling with VBA

Structured finance analysis and modeling tends to be more technical and some will say more difficult than other financial disciplines. Our flagship structured finance course is a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum that teaches the analysis and modeling required for structured finance transactions. This course takes participants through every step of creating and analyzing a structured finance transaction, inclusive of asset calculations, default, recovery, and prepayment integration, and an expansive look at liability structuring. It also doesn’t just stop when participants understand a model, but takes users through rating agency methodology, deal analysis techniques, and VBA tailored toward structured finance applications. With over 18 hours of instruction, this course also includes 49 demos, 30 exercises, and 3 fully operational models including a stratification tool, structuring model, and a lognormal expected loss model.
