The new offering provides access to S&P Capital IQ's powerful suite of credit risk analytics, fundamental and market data, on a new single, streamlined platform, allowing users a solution to address the challenges of analyzing and monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparties and investments. It is also available alongside RatingsDirect on the S&P Capital IQ platform, which delivers Credit Ratings and Research from S&P Global Ratings, to provide an integrated view of credit risk across rated and unrated portfolios.
