Portfolio strategy

Risk Segmentation and Lending Mix

Risk segmentation used to reshape the disbursement mix of a credit portfolio in Peru, with differentiated models by segment.

~US$5Mcredit portfolio capital managed, with positive profitability

The problem

A single approval policy treats very different customers the same way. The portfolio needed to grow where risk was low and stay protected where delinquency was high.

My role

I manage the credit portfolio in Peru, with about US$5 million in capital, achieving positive profitability.

Approach

  • Risk segmentation analysis to reconfigure the disbursement mix.
  • Higher approval in the lowest-delinquency segment and tighter restrictions in the highest-delinquency segment.
  • Differentiated models by segment.
  • Portfolio, risk, placement, and profitability analysis, with forecasting and scenario evaluation to support credit strategy decisions.
