Moody’s Analytics Launches Integrated Risk Analytics Platform in China

Shenzhen, May 24, 2022 – Moody’s Analytics announced today that it has launched Risk Compass, a risk analytics platform to help participants in the China market identify opportunities and manage risk.

Risk Compass provides a holistic way to understand credit, counterparty, and the value of institutions’ assets using credit assessment models, and analyses of market sentiment, financial statements, sectors using a risk-based valuation framework. It covers most public entities across China’s onshore and offshore bond/credit markets, including over 22,500 companies listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen, bond issuers, local government financing vehicles (LGFVs), entities across the National Equities and Exchange Quotation (NEEQ) system and companies listed on the Hong Kong Exchange.

Risk Compass offers Moody’s Analytics’ risk-based valuation covering nearly all active credit bonds and historical transactions, dating back 30 years. Empowered by AI machine learning, Risk Compass analyzes over 10,000 entities with Chinese language credit sentiment derived from millions of news articles.
