UK-based credit analytics firm Cognitive Credit announced a new partnership with IHS Markit in a bid to access credit market data from the latter’s platform. The alliance will enhance Cognitive Credit’s value proposition by combining its application features with IHS Markit’s pricing and reference data across the entire US and European high yield bond and loan universe.

Andrew Rogers, EMEA Head of Business Development for Pricing and Reference Data at IHS Markit, said, “IHS Markit is delighted to combine our multi-asset pricing and reference data with Cognitive Credit’s fundamental data and modelling capabilities, bringing credit analysts a competitive edge in the high yield market. With the volatility recently witnessed on a global basis, the need for streamlined access to market data is amplified, and we look forward to collaborating with Cognitive Credit as their offering expands.”

According to Cognitive Credit, customers can use the company’s platform across their entire analytical workflow, including initial credit investigation and modelling to security-specific selection and relative value analysis. Clients will have their key credit data centrally organised and accessible through a single solution, thus enabling maximisation of productivity and investment opportunities.

Robert Slater, CEO of Cognitive Credit, added, “We are thrilled to be entering this alliance with IHS Markit. Their technical sophistication and deep experience in credit market data makes them an extremely valuable partner as we continue advancing our innovative product for global credit investors. We remain committed to developing must-have analytics tools for our clients, and anticipate additional opportunities to work together with the IHS Markit team going forward.”
