Features
Independent
Evaluated prices are based on contributed prices from major bulge bracket firms and our proprietary evaluation models with evaluator oversight. We are not a broker dealer or controlled by a syndicate of dealers and we do not manage client money or portfolios.
Transparent
We provide transparency information for our leveraged loan evaluated prices, including the number of contributed prices used as inputs, and clearly distinguish modeled leveraged loan data from composite contributor data.
Methodology
Our approach to creating and delivering evaluated prices for leveraged loans, includes the following steps:
- Receiving updates of broker data throughout the business day
- Quality review of contributed data
- Calculating composite prices from comparable contributed market data and modeled prices
- Quality review of contributor average and model price calculations
- Creating evaluated prices
CUSIP Identifiers
We recognize that Loan CUSIPS identifiers have become a standard identifier for Leveraged Loans. Our Leveraged Loan product offers Loan CUSIP identifiers for both input and output within the service.
