Briefing - Credit Spreads Pro Update 2025

The correct determination of interest rates and credit spreads is crucial for your work – whether in IFRS accounting, loan valuation, or the preparation of transfer pricing documentation.

The Credit Spreads Pro product now offers you three new specialized tools that significantly simplify these tasks and save you valuable time. We developed the tools in collaboration with experts from auditing, financial administration, and fund management ​​to provide you maximum practical relevance. Our focus was on enabling you to determine your data efficiently and precisely, without having to build complex models yourself.

‍

Three tools for different requirements:

‍

1. Peergroup Credit Spreads:
   With this tool, you can determine credit spreads for individually compiled peer groups. You can choose from an extensive database with more than 2,000 rated companies and over 25,000 bonds per point in time. The selection can be made from over 130 subsectors, which enables a very precise peer group compilation. You can also view changes from previous points in time to analyze the development of credit risks.
   ‍
2. Industry Credit Spreads:
   Determine credit spreads based on industry, rating, and loan term. With data on 20 sectors, all major currencies, and terms from 1 to 30 years, this tool offers you comprehensive flexibility. Country-specific base interest rates ensure regionally adapted data determination – ideal for international comparisons.
   ‍
3. Rating and Credit Spreads:
   This tool closes a critical gap: It enables the determination of interest rates for companies without their own ratings. Based on common credit metrics, you can derive a rating for the borrowing company – essential for determining data for companies without ratings.
