Stabilizing instability
Derivative hedging strategies for subprime lenders
Volatility does not equate to instability
The automotive revolution creates exciting opportunities for the industry. It also carries significant risks.
For subprime lenders, who rely on accurate estimations of default expectations to ensure profitability, the increasing price volatility caused by the transformational changes occurring in the automotive space presents a serious concern. Inaccurate credit loss estimates can lead to cash flow and profitability implications and elongated periods of high used vehicle volatility can be detrimental for subprime lenders.
Legacy solutions no longer work
Existing solutions, like residual value insurance aren’t economically or operationally feasible for many companies. And doing nothing is not a viable option either, as it could lead to deteriorating cash flow and profitability.
