Credit Indices are macro-level risk indicators that offer the ability to compare credit trends and distributions across more than 170 countries and close to 200 industries, sectors and sub-sectors.
Over 1,200 trend-tracking, forward-looking Credit Indices are available, reflecting Credit Benchmark’s expanding universe of 10 million credit risk observations contributed annually from the world’s leading financial institutions. They provide insights into the real-world risk views of the world’s most experienced risk takers.
Credit Benchmark also collects and aggregates Senior Unsecured Loss Given Default (LGD) views from leading global financial institutions and produces consensus analytics from these contributed views at both entity and sector aggregate levels. Credit Benchmark’s consensus LGD data is particularly valuable to market participants looking to fine-tune and compare their own internal loss experience or views to Credit Benchmark.
