Numerous financial institutions find it challenging to set prices amidst fluctuating interest rates. This challenge stems from a lack of comprehension regarding the integration of interest rate and liquidity risk costs into their pricing strategies. Moreover, the challenge of determining origination and servicing costs further exacerbates this issue. These issues can be addressed by applying Kohl's Strategic Pricing Framework. The model uses the framework to set a minimum loan price required to meet the strategic capital objectives by using your loan data, funding rates that incorporate interest & liquidity risks, and Kohl's world-class operational cost data.
