Products & Tools
Credit Benchmark provides a data-driven view of credit risk, offering coverage, granularity, and collective insights not available anywhere else.
Credit Consensus Ratings, Indices & Analytics are an entirely unique product backed by real-world market sentiment. Instead of being based on the ‘issuer pays model’, this product represents the views of those with ‘skin in the game’.
Entity-Level Risk
Credit Consensus Ratings
Credit Consensus Ratings provide a unique measure of creditworthiness on 110,000+ counterparts and borrowers across emerging and developed markets, based on inputs from 40+ leading global financial institutions, almost half of which are Global Systemically Important Banks (GSIBs). 90% of the entities covered are otherwise unrated, or private entities, providing an unparalleled perspective of risk and liquidity.
Credit Consensus Ratings are supplemented by descriptive analytics and reference data that provide insights into the underlying credit views that make up the consensus.
Historical charting allows you to benchmark trends — the Credit Consensus Rating vs. your own estimate over time.
Macro- Level Insights
Credit Indices
Credit Indices are macro-level risk indicators that offer the ability to compare credit trends and distributions across more than 170 countries and close to 200 industries, sectors and sub-sectors.
Over 1,200 trend-tracking, forward-looking Credit Indices are available, reflecting Credit Benchmark’s expanding universe of 10 million credit risk observations contributed annually from the world’s leading financial institutions. The Credit Indices therefore provide insights into the real-world risk views of the world’s most experienced risk takers.
Leveraging our comprehensive set of indices allows for investment professionals to construct precise and representative Correlation- and Transition Matrices, which more appropriately reflect the true risk dynamics within the market.
Security-Level Ratings Assessments
Bonds & Loans
Credit Benchmark, in partnership with Bloomberg, offers rating assessments (notching) for bonds and loans issued by 40,000+ entities with Credit Consensus Ratings.
This service combines Credit Benchmark’s Credit Consensus Ratings with Bloomberg’s security reference dataset to create security-level rating assessments for approximately 130,000 bonds and loans amounting to $34+ trillion outstanding.
This service combines both Credit Benchmark and Bloomberg data and technology. As the resulting Rating Assessments are at the security level, the Bloomberg platform provides the perfect distribution mechanism.
