Corporate Bond Coverage
Introduction
Informative, In-Depth, Focused Corporate Bond Coverage
Whether looking at investment grade, high yield or emerging corporate bond ratings, we take the same in-depth robust approach to research. We don’t adapt research output to individual clients, instead providing one research note and one recommendation.
Analyzing businesses, finances and event risk, then putting these into context with our forecasts and credit scores, allows us to identify buy/outperform and sell/underperform recommendations. Accompanying data sheets provide additional unique credit metrics.

About Us
Emerging Markets
Gimme Credit’s emerging markets research focuses on high-yield opportunities in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the Far East. We have assembled a research team of highly experienced bond analysts covering credits and supporting clients across different time zones. Our emerging markets reports are published in Gimme Credit’s signature one-page format with concise analysis and an unconditional investment recommendation, along with the analyst’s data sheet including forecasts.
Introduction
High Yield
Gimme Credit’s high yield reports provide investors and traders with relative value recommendations based on in-depth research on credit quality, capital structure, valuation and market prices. Our senior high yield analysts cover the key names in all sectors, including the most liquid names in both bond and CDS markets.
In high yield analysis, we go into bonds at a granular level, taking into account the capital structure and covenants. We seldom refer to the rating agencies unless we know a company is targeting a certain rating or is at a critical cusp between investment grade and junk. We also pay close attention to corporate bond market conditions and trends.

The most experienced independent team in the industry, our senior investment grade analysts provide concise, solid analyses and recommendations aimed at maximizing relative value, preserving capital, and anticipating changes in credit quality.
FAQs
Why do you calculate your own internal credit scores?
We are skeptical of credit agency ratings, instead preferring to calculate our own internal credit scores and company forecasts. This ensures that our data is current and our research process and output remains consistent.
Who are your typical clients?
Our typical clients include institutional buy-side and sell-side firms, pension funds, corporations and independent advisers and brokers. Many of them deal directly with us although some will access research via third party commercial platforms.
Do you provide customized advisory services?
The simple answer is no. We treat everyone equally, making the same research reports, daily reports and intraday comments available to all clients at the same time. This helps to avoid confusion and enhance our reputation as an independent research firm.
