As we all know by now, NCF's business are involving of making subprime loan in wholesale and retail area. The companyfaces three big type of risk in their business: Credit risk, Market risk and operational risk. Creidt risk has to do with the subprime mortage borrowers.Since prime loan is actually for borrowers who are unable to qualify under trainditonal, more strict criterias due to an imperfect and limited credit history, it has a higher default rate compare to prime loan. Subprime borrowers are usually person who have limited income ,stable job, or a FICO credit score between 500 and 620 on a scale (from 300 to 850). The subprime mortage loans are priced based on the risk assumed by the lender.

This standard will definitely not work in the long time but bad loan will affect harm the business.
