Waterfall & IRR Modelling

Credit & Valuation

Waterfall & IRR Modelling

Structured credit returns depend on the payment waterfall, the recovery assumption and the path of the collateral. Each is flexed independently.

Beyond a base case

  • IRR matrices produced across the full variable set
  • Collateral value sensitivity modelled explicitly, including property and asset price paths
  • Haircut scenarios at varying severity

Waterfall modelling underneath

  • Cash flow allocation between tranches computed rather than approximated
  • A change in recovery assumption flows correctly through the structure
  • Tranche-level returns under each scenario

Where it applies

  • Any structured credit book with collateral-dependent returns and a defined payment priority
  • Mortgage-backed portfolios, auto loan securitisations and shared appreciation structures
  • Deployed on a live structured credit portfolio
