Abstract



A Monte Carlo Approach to Simulate Loan Repayment and Forecasting

By Rajnish Ranjan
Gain Credit, India

Abstract:
We present a scalable, non-parametric approach to simulating loan performance through the customer lifecycle for a series of short-term loans and enable a simplified calculation of unit economics and prediction of portfolio performance. The approach utilizes Monte Carlo techniques based on historic data to simulate customer behavior and replace traditional approaches based on linear and parametric regression modeling. We tested the method on our loan products and demonstrated accuracy within a few percentage points of actual performance metrics on default rates, early payment rates, loan repayment rates, collections, and overall customer value. The method can be extended to other loan types, including revolving debt, and can be implemented in an automated fashion to simplify monthly forecasts and performance projections.
