Moody’s Analytics suite of credit-scoring models and solutions address wholesale market needs from small businesses to large private and public companies, as well as commercial real estate, insurers, financial institutions and project finance. The models can be used for prequalification, origination, ongoing monitoring and early-warning counterparty risk assessment, benchmarking, limit setting, pricing, reserve allocation, risk-based pricing, stress-testing, capital planning and impairment calculations. 

CreditEdge measures credit risk for public entities globally. Its flagship Expected Default Frequency is a forward-looking probability-of-default measure from 0.01%–50% and term structure from 1–10 years. It combines financial statement and equity market information into a predictive measurement of standalone credit risk, and is produced daily for nearly 40,000 public firms.  

RiskCalc provides default and recovery analytics to assess the credit risk of private firms, commercial banks, project finance projects and insurance companies. Commercial Mortgage Metrics enables users to assess property and portfolio-level default and recovery credit risk. RiskBench is for analysing and benchmarking credit portfolios against peer datasets. Credit Sentiment Score compiles adverse credit signals from news articles using natural language processing, text analytics and machine learning techniques. CAP is a cloud-based collaborative modelling platform.

Moody’s Analytics runs several data consortia for data sharing and portfolio risk benchmarking through the Data Alliance portal, covering commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, project finance, asset finance and agriculture. It also offers subscription-based data products, such as private firm financial statement data with performance information spanning multiple credit cycles since 1990. Bureau van Dijk, a Moody’s Analytics company, provides credit data through Orbis, a comprehensive data resource on private companies in all countries, making it easy to compare and benchmark companies worldwide. 

The judges said:  

  • Moody’s Analytics is a wholesale credit modelling software behemoth. It is not resting on its laurels, but has produced material upgrades, new features and functions over the past year.
  • The company provides a huge, comprehensive global offering, enhanced by the recent acquisition of Bureau van Dijk and its data-sharing partnerships.
