NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Moody's Analytics announced today that it has enhanced its
CreditQuotes pricing, data and valuation service with comprehensive
credit risk measures from throughout Moody's. The new CreditQuotes
credit dashboard enables fast and effective analysis of debt and
credit derivative instruments for relative value and risk management

The CreditQuotes credit dashboard pairs market-based credit risk
measures such as Moody's Bond and Equity Implied Ratings (MIRs), Asset
Volatility and Fair Value credit default swap (CDS) spreads along with
Moody's fundamental long- and short- term credit ratings. CreditQuotes
users can now readily assess credit risk signals, across the credit

income cash and equity markets. The enhanced CreditQuotes allows hedge
funds, banks, and asset managers to more effectively manage and
implement their portfolio strategies
"The integration of Moody's fundamental and market-based measures
of credit risk with CreditQuotes significantly enhances the ability of
traders and asset managers to evaluate existing positions, assess
trading opportunities, and manage their portfolio risk," said Yiannis
Tsiounis, Senior Director at Moody's Analytics.
CreditQuotes, part of Moody's fixed income pricing and valuations
suite, enables real-time price discovery and delivers pricing data via
