VIP Magazine No.79 (June) includes a review of Debtwire, a proprietary intelligence and research provider from the UK-based Mergermarket Group (a subsidiary of the FT Group). Debtwire delivers real-time news and analysis on worldwide high yield and distressed credits.

Through their network of financial journalists in 64 global locations, Debtwire covers a highly targeted universe of companies – namely, borrowers who are ripe for investment or restructuring advisory activity. Starting with a base of companies that have at least US $150 million in debt, Debtwire closely monitors each company for any developments in M&A, possible restructuring, or other credit events. For those companies who have already defaulted, Debtwire provides detailed profiles on the nature of the restructuring, including debt swap details, asset sales, important court dates, the names of judges, creditors and committees, and even source documents like PACER filings.

Debtwire’s journalists and analysts update the intelligence database on a real-time basis, and subscribers can contact any of Debtwire’s journalists for further detail.

Debtwire distinguishes itself from other financial news publishers through a high level of proprietary content. About 30-40% of the news on Debtwire is exclusive. Their intelligence is graded, ranging from confirmed, published events, to market-moving rumours from reliable industry sources. Professionals can leverage Debtwire’s intelligence by taking advantage of its sophisticated alerting options. Debtwire’s targeted presentation makes it a key source for professionals in the credit industry – CDS, bond and loans traders, portfolio managers, hedge fund advisors, restructuring advisors, and others.

VIP’s review provides a detailed overview of Debtwire’s selection methodology, relevance to ratings agency subscribers, and screenshots on what you’ll find in Debtwire’s articles and restructuring deal profiles.
