We believe credit analysts deserve better
In a world of self-driving cars, algorithmic trading and generative AI, financial analysts in corporate credit markets – one of the world’s largest asset classes – still work as they always have: manually sourcing documentation, spreading numbers, calculating credit metrics, integrating market data and identifying relative value.
It is widely recognised that too much time is spent on low-value, redundant work. But, as other asset classes have harnessed the power of technology and automation, credit markets have been slow to adapt.
As ex-credit analysts ourselves, we experienced first-hand the challenge of relying on tools built for equity markets because no credible alternative existed. At the same time, we also felt the abundance of third-party market commentary and research services still failed to provide the detailed, accurate fundamentals needed to form your own view quickly and confidently.
