How has the
system performed in predicting rating
changes?
Over the last four years their were 854
companies covered by the Neural Credit
Assistant whose rating were changed by
the rating agencies based upon changes
in their financial condition and not by
mergers/acquisitions or other similar
events.

I have credit
analysts why do I need the Neural Credit
Assistant?
How would you like to have an assistant
who has years of experience in analyzing
the financials of thousands of companies
over many cycles of the economy, never
forgets a thing, is constantly learning
and never takes the day off? Having the
Neural Credit Assistant as a tool in your
credit analysis process gives you that
assistant. The assistant 's specialty
is in understanding how to use standard
financial analysis ratios and proprietary
ratios to analyze the financial condition
of a company. The Neural Credit Assistant
is only concerned with the numbers and
leaves the subjective factors for you
and your analysts to take into account
in understanding a company. The graph
below is a good illustration of how to
use a good team of credit analysts and
the Neural Credit Assistant effectively.
The red columns represent companies in
a portfolio that the NCA would suggest
have a higher likelihood of being downgraded,
while the blue columns represent those
companies with the highest likelihood
of an upgrade. The red and blue companies
are roughly 30% of the companies that
the analysts should concentrate their
efforts on for the greatest impact, rather
than diluting their efforts on the remaining
70% of the companies where the companies'
financial condition hasn't changed.

ile most people would agree that a credit
process based solely on ratio analysis
is short sighted, most would agree that
a process without objectivity and consistency
is equally doomed to problems. The Neural
Credit Assistant provides an objective
and consistent credit rating tool across
time and companies to aid in the evaluation
of corporate credits. It should be seen
as an additional tool to be used by in
credit analysis and not as a replacement
for an analyst's subjective judgment.
