Lending is a key business activity in the financial services sector. ... Whether due to lenient
credit standards, poor portfolio risk management, or weaknesses in the economy, loan portfolio
problems have historically been among the major cause of financial institutions' losses and
failures.
Loan portfolios are the major asset of banks, thrifts, and other lending institutions. The value of
a loan portfolio depends not only on the interest rates earned on the loans, but also on the
quality or likelihood that interest and principal will be paid.
