Cash is King


From GARP –

“Cash flow is at the center of a convergence between financial valuation models and risk models that could dramatically alter the credit risk modeling landscape.

Bankers have been slow to recognize the technology threat, but it's becoming visible to some of them. Speaking at June's Future of Financial Services conference in London, Barclays chief executive Antony Jenkins warned: "We are on the leading edge of a technology revolution. You can't see it, but it's coming, it's coming hard, and it's coming fast." Here's the problem, though: The banks aren't on the edge of a threat -- the threat is already here.”
