MISSION

Advancing the practice of Credit Portfolio Management to support the global economy

ABOUT

The IACPM represents its members before regulators around the world, holds bi-annual conferences and regional meetings, conducts research on the credit portfolio management field, and works with other organizations on issues of mutual interest relating to the measurement and management of portfolio risk.

There are 149 financial institutions worldwide that are members of the IACPM. These institutions are based in 32 countries and include many of the world’s largest commercial wholesale banks, investment banks and insurance companies, as well as a number of asset managers.

Today credit market conditions and new regulations are reshaping the financial services industry. The discipline of credit portfolio management (CPM) is evolving within firms to include the measurement and management of credit risk at the enterprise level, in addition to execution of risk mitigation strategies in the credit markets.

CPM has increasing linkages with front-end credit originators, the setting of risk appetite and limit structures, funding and liquidity for the firm, and management of counterparty risk. CPM is also expanding coverage of credit assets beyond investment grade and leveraged to include middle market and retail, and in some cases bonds and other credit-sensitive instruments.

The IACPM recognizes the unique and evolving role of credit portfolio managers in today’s financial environment and offers an excellent forum through which these issues can be identified, understood, and addressed.
