ISI launches new platform to redefine corporate debt intelligence in emerging markets

• REDD for Corporate Debt helps investors and advisers spot market-moving events first while delivering full lifecycle intelligence across corporate credit, from primary issuance to secondary market developments and private credit
• Gain unrivalled depth and coverage through exclusive issuer and instrument-level insights, powered by local expertise and hard-to-access data

LONDON, 7^th May 2026: ISI, the global market intelligence provider, today announced the launch of its new platform for investors, bankers and advisers, powered by REDD’s actionable intelligence on emerging market corporates across public bonds, private credit, and primary debt issuance.

Built for investors, investment banks, and legal and financial advisers, the platform helps users identify credit risks and event-driven dislocations ahead of market reaction. By combining AI with REDD’s proven insight, the platform delivers analysis and perspectives unavailable anywhere else.

This launch builds on the success of REDD for Sovereign Debt, introduced six months ago, and reflects ISI Markets’ continued focus on product innovation. The REDD suite cuts through market noise to provide clear, forward-looking intelligence on corporate debt risk, combining local insight with a global perspective.

A simpler, unified intelligence hub
Investors and analysts in emerging market corporate debt contend with limited transparency, fragmented data across multiple sources, and a lack of timely, actionable intelligence. Complex legal structures, evolving capital structures, and opaque private credit markets make it challenging to identify risks and opportunities across the full debt lifecycle.

To solve these challenges, ISI has launched its next-generation platform for corporate debt analysis, providing comprehensive coverage of emerging market corporate issuers across public bonds, private credit, and primary issuance, with depth in high-yield and crossover credits where information gaps are greatest.

Bringing together financial data, research, corporate news, restructuring developments, and M&A activity into a single, unified experience, the platform enables users to track credit developments from origination through to secondary market performance.     Enriched by insights from local expert teams and hard-to-access proprietary data, ISI’s platform transforms fragmented information into actionable intelligence, helping portfolio managers, credit analysts, restructuring teams, and dealmakers stay ahead, move faster, and win in emerging markets.

Broad coverage and improved usability
The platform features unrivalled market coverage, encompassing the full universe of over 2,100 hard-currency corporate bond issuers across emerging and frontier markets. It includes over 10 years of historical data, detailed financials on over 1,700 companies, and a continuous flow of over 25,000 news stories published each year.

The redesigned interface makes the platform easier to use, with tools to filter content, set personalised alerts, and create custom watchlists, helping users surface critical information faster while streamlining their workflows.

AI-Powered research
AskISI, the AI-powered research tool, enables users to quickly extract insights from more than 7,000 bond prospectuses, reports, and related documents. Combined with screening tools, a flexible report builder, custom alerts, and watchlists, it helps reduce research time and surface critical information more efficiently.

Steve Pulley, CEO of ISI Markets, said:
The global corporate debt market demands a holistic view of the factors shaping creditworthiness, from macroeconomic conditions and sector dynamics to company-specific fundamentals. Yet without a unified, high-quality information framework, investors are often left with fragmented analysis and incomplete insights.

We are very excited to launch our new platform, designed to transform fragmented information into actionable intelligence, turning complexity into clarity and enabling smarter, faster investment decisions.
