Alacra is excited to announce the addition of CreditSights to our premium databases. CreditSights is a significant enhancement to Alacra's credit research content.

CreditSights is an independent integrated research platform comprised of an experienced team of analysts, many of whom have been ranked #1 in their sectors by Institutional Investor. CreditSights' research currently focuses on global corporate and sovereign issuers, which have securities that are actively traded in the corporate bond, credit derivatives and/or equity-linked markets. CreditSights unbiased capital structure approach marries the disciplines of classical debt and classical equity analysis.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

  • Indepth coverage of 1200 companies and more than 40 industries.
  • Detailed Daily reports analyze recent company developments of significance, capturing the timeliness of breaking news and surrounding it with a meaningful interpretation of the events.
  • Industry Reviews drill deep beneath company-specific events to identify trends with broad impact on credit quality and security pricing for a particular industry.
  • Special Reports provide a thorough examination of critical market risk variables that extend beyond the confines of any one company or industry.
  • Company Spreadsheets provide a single access point for high-quality, historical financial data as well as a detailed breakdown of a companies capital structure, debt maturities, bank lines and operating leases on an annual basis. They use standardized GAAP and SEC mandated disclosure and incorporate any additional data provided by a company that is of use in tracking financial and operating trends.
  • Company Tearsheets capture all aspects of a company's competitive position, placing the financial and operating performance within a context of broader credit trends.
  • BondScore CRE calculates credit risk on a weekly basis and the model output is a one year default probability estimate called a credit risk estimate. The series are used in two capacities: to measure trends in credit risk migration and to measure divergence from credit rating agencies.
