Best Buy-Side Market Surveillance Tool

NEWS | For Immediate Release

NEW YORK, November 7, 2017 – Moody’s Analytics has won the Best Buy-Side Market Surveillance Tool/Platform category in the annual Waters Technology Buy-Side Technology Awards. This award recognizes the Moody’s Analytics Structured Finance Portal, an integrated application that gives users a comprehensive view of the structured finance universe.

Financial firms around the world use the Structured Finance Portal for surveillance of their portfolios and the marketplace. The platform consists of three modules – monitoring, cash flow analytics, and regulatory – that allow users to instantly view their holdings and associated key metrics to uncover their individual exposures. Its data visualization tools and simple interface let users compare deals side by side for greater insight.

Thanks to the platform’s comparative analytics, users can also compare managers and issuers to understand their portfolio exposures and performance attribution. The Structured Finance Portal’s point-in-time, historical, and forecast metrics, which use Moody’s Analytics data and economic scenarios, help users quickly prepare regulatory reports.

“The Structured Finance Portal sets the standard for data transparency, analysis, and reporting across structured finance,” said Luis Amador, Managing Director at Moody’s Analytics. “We’re delighted to receive this award, which recognizes the Structured Finance Portal’s value to users when conducting surveillance of their individual portfolios and the marketplace.”

The Structured Finance Portal was launched in 2014, focusing on the CLO market. The platform has grown significantly since then and now provides transparency for all structured asset classes globally, including RMBS, CMBS, ABS, and CLOs.

This is the second award Moody’s Analytics has earned in 2017 for its comprehensive structured finance offerings. In May, the Moody’s Analytics was named CLO Data Provider of the Year
at the GlobalCapital US Securitization Awards.

The Structured Finance Portal is just one component of our solution for investors in securitizations. Customers can also access 20+ years of data using the Moody’s Analytics Data Feeds
to view detailed information on the performance of CLO, CMBS, ABS, or RMBS tranches and their underlying loans. Meanwhile, issuers of structured products can use ABS System
to reduce costs, mitigate risk, and increase their efficiency.
