Credit Risk Assessment

Our team of experts use their knowledge and experience to enhance the basis of your business decisions with their perspective on Credit Risk (e.g. default risk of potential tenants), and thereby improving your risk-return metric.

Our suite of Corporate Credit Risk Assessments is designed to navigate the complexities of credit risk through a multifaceted approach that includes both qualitative and quantitative analyses. Our services are anchored by the innovative Tearsheet-product (T/S), a standardized rating scorecard model that facilitates comprehensive risk evaluation and management. 

Corporate Credit Risk Assessments 

  • Our Tearsheet product (T/S) enables detailed reviews to manage tenant-related credit risks, addressing needs from potential new acquisitions to rating downgrades and significant corporate events. For an even deeper dive, we offer In-depth Credit Risk Memos, providing a more granular analysis. 

Ongoing Risk Control 

  • Our Market Risk analysis through Bloomberg Launchpad is enhanced by our maintenance of a Watchlist exceeding 500 entities. Automation in T/S reviews is driven by dashboard-implemented trigger functions for efficiency and timeliness. 

Reporting 

  • Our reporting framework is built on the backbone of a custom-built Dashboard that not only summarizes the status of T/S reviews for a comprehensive overview of b/s transactions but also encompasses regular watchlist reporting, special projects, and other key tasks.

  • Regularly scheduled team calls ensure alignment between clients' credit and/or underwriting teams. Furthermore, we provide monthly summarized rating migration reports, uphold public rating validations for top entities identified by ARI, and ensure regular financial performance updates for top tenants.
