Supporting SRT with Consensus Credit Ratings and Analytics
SRT investors use Credit Benchmark data to verify their own credit views and those of issuers. Our dataset of 110,000+ Consensus Credit Ratings and advanced analytics are now being used by close to 40 major SRT participants to provide transactional, decision-support and workflow efficiencies. We help our SRT clients to:
- Enhance trade transparency with precise entity mapping. Our mapping service facilitates efficient due diligence by identifying the exact legal entities in disclosed pools.
- Accelerate underwriting in an opaque market. Real-world Consensus Credit Ratings allow investors to assess whether a position fits within their desired portfolio risk profile.
- Better mitigate risk by understanding sectoral changes and correlations over time. Our sectoral indices are built from highly granular data, combining over 1M monthly datapoints.
- Build credibility – internally and externally. Consensus data helps stakeholders understand and communicate the characteristics of underlying assets to support strategic decisions.
Credit Benchmark fills a critical information gap by offering a timely, comprehensive and independent view of credit risk. The dataset complements data available from issuing banks, traditional credit rating agencies and third-party model vendors. Consensus Credit Ratings encapsulate the expertise of 20,000+ credit analysts; a powerful example of “the wisdom of crowds.”
