Lewtan Technologies Inc., a provider of asset-backed securities surveillance data, analytics, and content for the global securitization industry, will offer Standard & Poor's credit ratings and research to its ABSNet customers. The offering will include S&P current ratings actions and presale reports on Asset-Backed Securities (ABS), Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS), and Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) to help support decision-making for financial professionals who issue, buy, sell or invest in asset-backed securities, as well as those who facilitate and support these transactions. Additionally, ABSNet users will be able to access S&P insight into deal-specific transactions, opinions on key risk and performance factors, commentaries on credit market developments, and outlooks and reviews of global rating trends.

"Investors who deal with asset-backed securities require as much information and transparency as possible to support their investment decisions," said Charles Warburton, Director of Product Management for S&P. "Making S&P's industry-leading credit market ratings and analysis available through ABSNet, a popular and respected provider, is another way S&P can provide market participants with the information and transparency they need."

"By offering such a broad and in-depth set of Standard & Poor's credit market information through ABSNet, we hope to provide our customers with greater options for their investment decision-making," said Usman Ismail, Lewtan Technologies's Executive VP for International Sales and Business Development.
