Entity-Level Risk

Credit Consensus Ratings

Credit Consensus Ratings provide a unique measure of creditworthiness on 110,000+ counterparts and borrowers across emerging and developed markets, based on inputs from 40+ leading global financial institutions, almost half of which are Global Systemically Important Banks (GSIBs). 90% of the entities covered are otherwise unrated, or private entities, providing an unparalleled perspective of risk and liquidity.

 

Credit Consensus Ratings are supplemented by descriptive analytics and reference data that provide insights into the underlying credit views that make up the consensus.

 

Historical charting allows you to benchmark trends — the Credit Consensus Rating vs. your own estimate over time.

Macro- Level Insights

Credit Indices

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. The Credit Indices therefore provide insights into the real-world risk views of the world’s most experienced risk takers.

 

Leveraging our comprehensive set of indices allows for investment professionals to construct precise and representative Correlation- and Transition Matrices, which more appropriately reflect the true risk dynamics within the market.

Analytical Tools

Monitoring, managing and mitigating your risk

Below are some of the different functionalities via which Credit Benchmark’s products and services can be accessed and the benefits they offer:

Correlation Matrices

Correlation Matrices

Credit Benchmark can provide Correlation Matrices that show the industry- and region-specific correlations within a pool. The correlation matrices are constructed using Credit Benchmark’s industry and region schema, offering a detailed view of concentration and correlation risk across your portfolio.
Credit Transition Matrices

Credit Transition Matrices

Our Credit Transition Matrices (CTMs) facilitate the modelling of default risk. The CTMs are constructed using the full breadth of Credit Benchmark’s dataset, which includes over 100,000 consensus entities, ensuring long-term stability. These CTMs can be used to plot broad credit trends, build sector-specific views, or produce term structures for use in portfolio modelling.
Watch List & Surveillance

Watch List & Surveillance

In-built Surveillance provides insights on the most prevalent movers in your portfolio and the wider consensus universe. The Watch List leverages Credit Consensus Ratings and descriptive analytics to provide insights into entities that are experiencing credit deterioration.

Monitoring & Alerting

Automated portfolio monitoring and notifications can flag negative or positive movements, enabling analysts to cover a larger set of names, direct resources to where it matters most — and, crucially, to manage exceptions and respond to early warnings.

My Portfolio

Upload your portfolio and continuously monitor its credit quality by using the Credit Benchmark Web App portfolio function. Portfolios can be shared dynamically with other users across your team or firm and feed into management reporting cycles.

Client Analytics

Compare the internal risk view of your portfolio against the consensus view, and filter by different segment cuts for a more granular view of your risk exposure. Chart the notch difference averages between your own internal estimates and the consensus view by industry.

Now Available: Credit Risk IQ

These monthly reports contain forward-looking analyses of default risk across 5,000+ sectors, spanning various geographies and industries, with rated and unrated, and privately and publicly owned entities.
