Books by G. Oricchio

The recent crisis in financial markets has seen a gradual erosion of risk-free asset classes. In equity markets the credit risk has reached a critical level in valuation. Here a new cost of equity method for private companies is presented based on the pricing of junior subordinated notes. Global business cases are illustrated to support this.

More than ever, banking competition is based on the ability to control the cost of risk and can only be managed with excellent internal rating models and very advanced risk management processes. This book is a comprehensive guide to quantitative and qualitative rating assessments with up-to-date methodologies in the international banking system.

This book presents the state-of-the-art with respect to credit risk evaluation and pricing within the contemporary global banking and financial system. It focuses on credit pricing in illiquid, liquid and hybrid markets. No one with any connection to the credit management business will be able to do without it.
