Problem

The credit analysis process is highly data-dependent, manual and subjective. Meanwhile the global bond market has a capitalization of over $100 Trillion, with over 20,000 new issuances each year, making analysis and evaluation difficult to scale.

With persistent low interest rates, investors’ search for higher returns can lead to increased risk-taking or settling for lower returns and losing competitiveness. Over 50% of investment grade bonds are rated BBB, one step from junk bond status. It is imperative that asset managers have timely and accurate data to manage their portfolios.
