CreditPointe announces the launch of its credit ratings and models on public companies

Intent is to provide objective, timely and comprehensive assessment of credit risk in public companies around the world

January 24, 2008, Westwood, MA - CreditPointe, Inc., announced the launch of its credit ratings on public companies for institutional subscribers through its online portal. Starting with the U.S. Retail Sector, the company will initiate coverage of all public companies around the world over time. CreditPointe's credit rating service will also include in-depth fundamental financial models to allow analysts to conduct their own sensitivity analysis.

CreditPointe's unique knowledge-based technology, credit rating algorithms and experienced analyst teams allow it to update its ratings within hours of a corporate action or other significant event," commented John LaRocca, SVP, Corporate Credit, at CreditPointe.

"We are very excited about this offering. The offering reflects over 20+ years of academic research in the area. Our rating process is substantially algorithmically driven based on a set of statistical models and adjusted based on the judgment of our experienced ratings team. Given our powerful knowledge-based technology, we are able to scale to cover all public companies in a very timely and cost effective manner" commented Dr. Venkat Srinivasan, the company's CEO.
