Unified Risk & Valuations Workflow for Professional Services
Integrate trusted data, market benchmarks and forward-looking intelligence to support more defensible decisions across valuation, credit, third-party risk, supply chain exposure, macroeconomic analysis and transfer pricing workflows.
Pricing, Valuations & Independent Price Verification
Independently validate asset values, strengthen pricing transparency, and support defensible fair value assumptions across audit and reporting processes.
- Validate pricing with confidence: Access independent market benchmarks to verify internal valuations quickly and transparently, giving your team defensible evidence for audit and regulatory reviews.
- Resolve pricing disputes faster: Use consensus pricing data and objective benchmarks to settle counterparty valuation disagreements and apply consistent fair value classifications across your portfolio.
- Value complex and hard-to-price assets: Strengthen your approach to illiquid securities, structured products, and private assets with independent pricing inputs, credit signals, and market-driven valuation benchmarks.
- Streamline portfolio and NAV validation: Efficiently validate pricing across large, diverse portfolios and verify fund-level NAV calculations with broad, independent pricing coverage.
- Spot pricing risks earlier: Monitor liquidity conditions and detect stale or anomalous pricing before it impacts your reporting, using real-time market signals and liquidity indicators.
Credit, Counterparty & Market Risk Assessment
Assess counterparty risk, monitor credit exposure, and incorporate market signals to inform valuation and risk decisions.
- Assess counterparty creditworthiness with confidence: Access independent credit research, standardised risk scores, and structured ratings data to benchmark counterparties consistently and support more defensible risk decisions.
- Spot early signs of credit deterioration: Monitor real-time credit risk indicators and draw on deep default and transition history to identify emerging risks before they escalate, helping you stay ahead of rating downgrades.
- Leverage market signals for smarter pricing: Use live CDS spreads and issuer-level benchmarks to understand how the market is pricing credit risk, giving you robust, defensible inputs for valuations and pricing models.
- Navigate cross-border risk with clarity: Evaluate sovereign and country-level exposures using forward-looking risk indicators and macroeconomic scenario analysis, strengthening the rigour behind your credit and valuation assumptions.
- Understand systemic banking sector vulnerabilities: Gain a consistent, country-by-country view of banking sector risks, layered with sovereign context, to better assess and communicate exposure across markets.
Third-Party & Vendor Risk Management
Evaluate, monitor, and manage third-party risk across complex vendor ecosystems with greater consistency and control.
- Streamline vendor due diligence: Quickly assess the financial health of your suppliers with standardised credit risk scores and structured assessments, saving time and strengthening audit readiness across even the largest vendor portfolios.
- Build a robust, auditable risk framework: Replace ad hoc processes with a repeatable, well-documented approach to third-party oversight, giving your risk and compliance teams a clear, defensible evidence trail.
- Monitor vendor risk in real time: Stay ahead of emerging risks with continuous credit signals and ratings intelligence, so you're not relying solely on periodic reviews to catch changes in vendor stability.
- See the full picture on vendor concentration: Gain a consolidated view of your exposure across the entire supplier base, helping you identify concentration risks before they become material issues.
- Meet rising regulatory expectations: Proactively identify operational and compliance vulnerabilities introduced by third parties, supporting your firm's ability to meet evolving regulatory requirements for formal vendor risk oversight.
Supply Chain & Trade Risk Intelligence
Gain visibility into global supply chains and trade activity to identify risks, monitor exposure, and support operational resilience.
- Know your suppliers before they become a risk: Combine credit risk indicators with global trade data to identify financially vulnerable suppliers early and map multi-tier dependencies, so you can spot concentration risk before it impacts your operations.
- See the full picture of your trade relationships: Analyse shipment-level data and global trade flows to uncover hidden counterparty connections, giving you greater transparency across your supply chain and helping you make more informed sourcing decisions.
- Stay ahead of sanctions and compliance exposure: Screen trade activity against sanctions lists and flag high-risk jurisdictions or entities automatically, reducing the manual burden of export control monitoring and helping you meet regulatory obligations with confidence.
- Track maritime and logistics disruption in real time: Monitor vessel movements, port activity, and shipping routes globally to identify potential disruptions early, so your teams can respond proactively and protect continuity across transportation networks.
- Powered by industry-leading data and tools: Access integrated solutions including Panjiva for supplier mapping, PIERS for US shipment-level insights, Trade Compliance Secure for sanctions screening, Maritime Intelligence Risk Suite for vessel tracking, and Global Trade Analytics for macro trade forecasting.
Macroeconomic & Geopolitical Risk Intelligence
Macro, country, and sector intelligence underpins valuation, risk, and advisory decisions across professional services workflows.
- Ground every engagement in a consistent macro view: Start from a single, globally aligned set of macroeconomic and country assumptions, so strategy, valuation, and restructuring work is built on a credible, defensible foundation rather than fragmented inputs.
- Strengthen financial models with scenario-ready insights: Stress-test your models against base, downside, and adverse macroeconomic paths, giving boards, investors, and creditors greater confidence in your analysis amid shifting rates, inflation, and geopolitical risk.
- Elevate stress testing and regulatory reporting: Leverage structured, evidence-backed macroeconomic scenarios to support robust stress testing and meet regulatory expectations with greater rigour and transparency.
- Go deeper with sector-specific macro intelligence: Move beyond generic country outlooks with industry-tailored macroeconomic and risk analysis, enabling sharper sector advisory, more relevant recommendations, and better-informed capital allocation.
- Benchmark and validate your in-house research: Use consistent, externally sourced macroeconomic and sector data to anchor proprietary models, keeping internal views current, comparable, and aligned across regions.
- Align risk perspectives across teams and geographies: Forward-looking country and sector risk analysis ensures your teams share a common, comparable view, reducing fragmentation and strengthening cross-regional advisory work.
Tax & Transfer Pricing Analysis
Support defensible transfer pricing and financial decisions with market benchmarks, credit insights, and macroeconomic context.
- Price Intercompany Loans with Confidence: Use borrower-specific credit assessments and market benchmarks to establish arm's-length pricing that stands up to tax authority scrutiny, with audit-ready documentation built in.
- Strengthen Intercompany Credit Risk Assessments: Apply structured, borrower-specific credit risk frameworks that mirror how independent lenders evaluate risk, helping you demonstrate consistency and defensibility across affiliated entities.
- Value Intercompany Derivatives & Financial Instruments: Leverage market pricing data and observable comparables to independently value and benchmark intercompany financial instruments, improving both accuracy and regulatory defensibility.
- Benchmark Against Market & Industry Comparables: Access market credit benchmarks, issuer data, and sector-level risk indicators to validate your transfer pricing assumptions and support more robust industry-level comparisons.
- Underpin Financial Models with Macroeconomic Context: Draw on global economic forecasts to justify modelling assumptions, and use scenario analysis to stress-test how changing conditions could impact intercompany pricing outcomes.
