It has been a positive month for the most part for the credit quality of Global Financial counterparts, with a handful of exceptions.

Amongst the banks, Latin America Banks had the strongest showing, with an improving to deteriorating ratio of 7:1. Globally Systematically Important Banks (GSIBs) showed the most overall instances of improvements, but the ratio was tempered by deteriorations, with the final ratio being 2:1. Central Banks were the lone net negative performer this month, at 1:3 improvements to deteriorations.

The Intermediaries were wholly positive, with Central Clearing Counterparts (CCPs) showing no instances of deterioration. Broker Dealers had the strongest positive ratio at 2.7:1, while Prime Brokers showed the most overall instances of improvements, though with a slightly lower positive ratio of 2:1.

Buy Side Managers performed more modestly, with Asset Managers at 1.3:1 and Insurance Companies at 1.2:1. For Buy Side Owners, the news was worse – all three groups saw net deterioration, with Pension Funds the worst affected at 1:2.1 improvements to deteriorations.
