Investment Grade Research
Introduction
In-Depth Investment Grade Corporate Bonds Research
We take a unique approach to investment grade corporate bond research, calculating our own credit scores and financial forecasts for each company. This ensures that our research is not based on outdated credit agency scores or influenced by potential conflicts of interest.
Maximizing the skills and experience of our research team, we appreciate the needs of our clients. Taking a proactive approach, we don’t sit on the fence, updating research notes only when our recommendations change.
Key Features
Identifying Value in Investment Grade Bonds
While our research is based on a bottom-up approach, our analysts have experience across a broad range of financial services. Many have also experienced significant market volatility, and challenging times which have proven invaluable when taking a balanced approach to bond research.
As we have mentioned before, as a company we have a healthy skepticism of published financial data, instead preferring to calculate our own credit scores and company forecasts.

FAQs
Do you provide customized advisory services?
The simple answer is no. We treat all clients equally and therefore produce one research note, one recommendation and do not provide any customized advisory services. This helps to avoid confusion and enhance our reputation as an independent research firm.
Do you receive payment from third parties to provide research notes?
We only receive payments from clients, with no outside influence on our research reports, daily reports or intraday comments. This is one of the critical foundations upon which our business is built, providing truly independent corporate bond research.
Why do you use your own credit scores and not the credit rating companies?
Unless specifically mentioned by one of the companies we follow, we rarely comment on credit agency ratings. By calculating our own credit scores, we know they are up-to-date, accurate and a useful basis on which to base our future forecasts. We prefer to call it a healthy skepticism of credit agency ratings.
