As we approach the end of 2025, I’d like to take this moment to reflect on another exciting year at Cognitive Credit and thank you for your continued support.
2025: A Landmark year
This year saw us expand our data offering in two important areas: our Leveraged Loans coverage went live in early 1H and now stands at nearly 1,000 issuers across Europe and the US, and mid-year we rolled out more flexible Restricted Access coverage in-app for bond and loan markets.
It’s also been a landmark year for our Excel Add-in, with a huge increase in usage. In response to this demand, we’ve rolled out additional commands and performance updates in 2H to facilitate better integration of our data, streamlining your analysis within Excel.
2026: The Year AI transforms Credit Research
As 2026 comes into view, we’re hard at work on a number of enhancements which we expect will meaningfully expand our value proposition for clients. It’s no secret that AI is now a transformational force across most industries, and credit markets will be no exception. As you may have heard in my recent guest appearance on Bloomberg’s FICC Focus podcast, I firmly believe that 2026 is the year that AI will become embedded in credit research workflows.
We want Cognitive Credit to be at the forefront of delivering easy-to-access AI capabilities to your business. In January, we will be providing more detail about our pending AI roll-out, and I look forward to discussing with you and your team what more we can do to support your firm in leveraging this emerging technology to maximum benefit.
As always, your product feedback plays an integral role in shaping our development priorities, so please continue sharing your insights and requests — we truly value your input. Our Client Success and Product teams will be providing regular updates throughout the year about our roadmap, and our email updates and blog will keep you informed of pending releases.
Let's talk about your 2026 requirements
As always, we really appreciate your continued support. It’s because of clients like you that Cognitive Credit is able to continue delivering on its mission. Our entire team is excited to work with you in 2026 to ensure you achieve your goals.
If you've not yet started to leverage data & automation in your credit research process, now is the time to start. If you'd like to find out more about any of these updates, please don't hesitate to contact us today.
