Underwriting Profitability & Pricing
Technical pricing and portfolio discipline.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Growth in underwriting profitability keeps arriving through channels the institution does not fully control — and supervision is asking questions your reporting cannot yet answer. Margin erosion is quiet and compounding, and it is revealed only when it is expensive to reverse. The programme teaches the operator's craft in underwriting profitability: reading capital, liquidity and unit economics so the next decision is yours, not your vendor's.

The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Partnership With Two Ledgers
A regional microfinance group has signed a fintech partnership in underwriting profitability: revenue is shared one way in the contract and recognised another way in the books, and the partner’s conduct is now a supervisory topic. Nobody has reconciled the two ledgers since launch.
Your decision: Renegotiate, ring-fence, or exit the underwriting profitability partnership — before the supervisor reconciles them for you.
IPAT Data Lab™
The underwriting profitability unit economics at a regional microfinance group work in the business case and fail in the ledger.
Dataset: Synthetic product-level revenue, cost and capital data for a regional microfinance group.
Your task: Rebuild the unit economics, stress them against rate and funding shocks, and recommend what to scale or exit.
A stress-tested underwriting profitability economics model and a board-grade summary page.
