ICE Private Credit Reference Data closes that gap
Delivered via ICE's existing reference data infrastructure, it establishes a standard identifier (ICE ID) and uses AI with human analyst oversight to extract terms and conditions directly from underlying deal documents — improving operational efficiency and making the private credit market browsable, filterable, and comparable at scale.
Assigned from original deal documents, the ICE ID persists across every participant and every stage of the deal lifecycle — enabling consistent data and efficient workflows across the ecosystem.

The private credit reference data suite
ICE Private Credit Reference Data is a structured security master for private credit, built on a permissioned, deal-level entitlements framework. Every new instrument in the dataset carries a unique ICE ID assigned at origination. This persistent ID is used across the Deal Insights, Publicly Disclosed and Permissioned datasets - so clients move from market discovery to named instrument to full terms without reconciliation.
Deal Insights
For the first time, analysts, strategists, and risk teams can survey the private credit market at scale without calling lenders. Anonymized, instrument-level records sourced directly from private credit participants reveal sector composition, deal sizing, maturity profiles, sub-type mix, and banded coupon rate tiers along with ICE IDs across the full universe.
Publicly Disclosed
Where Deal Insights reveals patterns, Publicly Disclosed lets clients act on them. The named-instrument layer provides -ICE IDs, coupon type, debt rank, and call/put/sink terms for identified private credit instruments. Publicly Disclosed data is available for larger, more broadly distributed deals where instrument-level details have been made available by the originating lender or borrower.
Permissioned
For investors and counterparties with an existing or prospective relationship with an originating partner, Permissioned delivers the complete instrument record, supporting deeper analysis, potentially reducing operational errors, streamlining workflows and enabling consistency and comparability across deals and with public markets, transforming private credit positions from operationally opaque to analytically manageable.
Delivery & integration
ICE Private Credit Reference Data is delivered via the same infrastructure clients already use for ICE’s public fixed income reference data - the same ICE Uniform Entity Sector taxonomy, the same identifier framework, the same delivery mechanisms. Private credit data that sits natively alongside the rest of the fixed income book.
