Why Credit Benchmark?

Access more inventory, optimize capital allocation, and improve overall organizational efficiency

Understanding and communicating counterparty creditworthiness within a firm or to its clients is critical to doing business and driving prudent decision-making.

The sheer volume of beneficial owners and borrowers involved in securities finance transactions creates logistical issues and data bottlenecks that can impact business.

Credit Benchmark data provides transparency into the securities lending market and its participants, benefiting beneficial owners, lending agents, tri-party providers, principal borrowers, and technology data providers.

How we can help your business

Case Study

  The Client
A major US-based agent bank and asset manager.

 The Challenge
Many of the client’s beneficial owner and borrower names were publicly unrated, making it challenging to onboard and do business quickly. Capital constraints and regulatory imperatives made it difficult to do more standard business.

 The Solution
Credit Benchmark allowed the agency lending program to see the borrowers that they are facing off against. The data was presented in reporting both internally and externally to their beneficial owner clients. The front-line credit team was able to approve and review fund counterparts more efficiently, facilitating more business. Benchmarking industry classifications and counterparty ratings helped the organization reduce RWA and optimize capital.
