Credit Analytics

CSME helps users identify market opportunities that may be rich or cheap, identify obligors with a change in status that may drive the price of bonds one way or another, and quickly assess the creditworthiness of a trade on the secondary market. CSME assesses credit risk using:

• Financial ratios and trends on individual credits and vs. peer groups
• A wide selection of financial ratios measuring coverage, leverage, liquidity and profitability
• Trend analysis via ratio calculations over multiple time periods
• User defined ratios, using the consistently fielded data within a sector


• Benchmark comparisons
• User defined benchmarks for peer group analysis against other benchmarks or individual credits
• Standard benchmarks, such as vs. credit medians and vs. individual peers


• Multi-variate ranking within sector or sector/rating peer groups for proprietary credit scoring models



• Multi-variate regression for predictive or proxy ratings
