Riassunto

This book is designed to start with simple examples that progressively develop the reader's confidence to take on more complex tasks. There is very little theoretical discussion about computer science, operations research algorithms, mathematics, or finance. The thrust of the book is to teach the reader to break complex tasks down into simple tasks. It then looks to implement those simple tasks into VBA code using a critical subset of the features of the language.

The tentative contents is: (1) Why? What? Who? Where? and How? (2) Common Sense (3) Securitizing A Loan Portfolio (4) Understanding the Excel Waterfall (5) Designing the VBA Model (6) Laying the Model Groundwork (7) Recorded Macros: A First Look at the VBA Language (8) Writing Menus: An Introduction to Data, Ranges, Arrays, and Objects (9) Controlling the Flow of the Model (10) Building Messaging Capabilities (11) Designing the Model’s Reports (12) Main Program and Menus (13) Writing the Collateral Selection Code (14) Calculating the Cash Flows (15) Running the Waterfall: Producing Initial Results (16) Debugging the Model (17) Validating the Model (18) Running the Model (19) Building Additional Capabilities (20) Documentation of the Model (21) Managing the Growth of the Model (22) Building Portfolio Monitoring Model (23) Valuation Techniques: How do we Determine Price? (24) Challenging Times For the Deal (25) Parting Admonitions

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

An introductory work to structured modeling in Visual Basic Application (VBA), A Fast-Track to Structured Finance Modeling, Monitoring, and Valuation: Jump Start VBA provides you with a concise, immediate, and practical guide to developing a meaningful level of modeling expertise on problems in structured finance. Designed to allow you to cross from the pure Excel world to the much more powerful and flexible world of VBA/Excel, this straightforward book is built around a structured finance case study in asset-based securitization.

Starting with basic examples that progressively develop your confidence to take on more complicated tasks, this book teaches you how to break complex tasks down into simple tasks and then implement them into VBA code using a critical subset of the features of the language. This hands-on, step-by-step guide features coverage of:

• General modeling concepts

• The Cash Flow Waterfall in Excel code

• Organizing and creating VBA modules to hold your model code

• Generating VBA code from recorded macros, and how to simplify and extract it for use in your model

• Efficiently using VBA statements to control the flow of the model

• How to use template files for efficient and flexible report writing

• Writing a collateral selection and reporting capability into your model

• How to generate collateral cash flows on a loan-by-loan, period-by-period basis

• Calculation optimization applied to collateral cash flow amortization

• How to use the VBA debugger to detect and correct different types of errors

• How to use the completed model to structure and size a finance deal

• Modifying the model to allow multiple scenario runs

• Protecting and evolving the model so it continues to create value for the business unit

• How to add additional reporting and analytical features to the existing model

• How to convert the structuring model into a monitoring and valuation model

• Allowing for the use of monthly empirical performance information

• Use of the monitoring and valuation model to track the performance of the deal

• Valuing the deal based on its performance, market conditions, and rating criteria

Accompanied by an online resource containing a complete working model and all the data and files professionals need to run it, A Fast-Track to Structured Finance Modeling, Monitoring, and Valuation: Jump Start VBA is the only book written for the complete novice, enhancing your ability to break complex, seemingly insoluble problems down into a set of manageable tasks, through the use of VBA.
