Automotive finance firms depend on efficient collateral valuation for competitive edge in a number of contexts, ranging from the assessment of residual value in lease pricing to the liquidation of car loan collateral for loss minimization. In the years following the 2008 financial crisis, access to affordable funding increasingly became an issue to be addressed through a systematic approach to portfolio analytics and risk management. Pricepoint CARS offers frequent valuation updates and verification of predictive performance, coherent portfolio statistics and consistent systematic stress tests, all designed to anchor fully informed decision processes and risk transparency.
