ISI Markets unveils AI-powered platform for emerging market corporate debt analysis

ISI Markets has launched a new platform designed to simplify emerging market corporate debt analysis. The tool addresses long-standing issues like fragmented data and limited transparency that investors and analysts often face in these regions. The platform covers more than 2,100 hard-currency corporate bond issuers across emerging and frontier markets. It provides over a decade of historical data alongside detailed financials for over 1,700 companies. Users also gain access to a continuous stream of more than 25,000 news stories published annually.

Powered by REDD’s actionable intelligence, the platform combines local insights with a global perspective. It aims to turn complex, scattered information into clear, forward-looking analysis. Investors can now identify credit risks and market dislocations before they become widely apparent. The system includes AskISI, an AI-driven research tool that extracts key insights from over 7,000 bond prospectuses and related documents. A redesigned interface allows users to filter content, set personalised alerts, and build custom watchlists. This launch follows the success of REDD for Sovereign Debt, introduced just six months ago, reinforcing ISI Markets’ commitment to product innovation.

The new platform is now available to investors, bankers, and advisers. By integrating AI with REDD’s expertise, it provides clearer intelligence on corporate debt risks. The tool is expected to help users make more informed decisions in often opaque emerging markets.
