A Bank Enhances Its IRB Model for Basel Regulations

Under the Basel regulatory guidelines, banks are permitted to use their own estimated risk parameters for the purpose of calculating regulatory capital. This is known as the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach for credit risk.

A large European bank wanted to enhance their IRB model for their corporate loan portfolio ahead of the 2024 submission, so they sought a solution that would provide:

  • Standardized global financial statement data for active and inactive public companies.
  • Extensive data on private companies
  • The ability to seamlessly link data to a corporate hierarchy to tie common entities together.
  • Efficient delivery of all the information to their internal system.

They decided to subscribe to S&P Global Market Intelligence's comprehensive financial datasets for both public and private companies, plus unique mapping capabilities that would save hours of work by automating the data linking process.

By automating the data linking process and efficiently delivering the information to their internal system, this solution provided the credit risk team with significant time savings, and provided them easy access to reliable financial data, ultimately leading to an enhanced IRB model.

A Large Bank Transforms Stale Payments Data into Vital Insight

A major bank's Data Science and Artificial Intelligence team faced the challenge of turning vast but messy payments data into a valuable asset.

The data was amassed by the back-office payments team, containing 50 to 75+ million records, often stored in CSV files. This data proved messy and unstructured, riddled with spelling errors, various company name formats, partial addresses, URL inconsistencies, and more.

The challenge was two-fold: first, to cleanse, standardize, and connect this data for cross-selling opportunities, and second, to prove its worth. They decided to use Kensho Link, a machine learning-based solution to systematically cleanse and standardize the data through a common S&P Capital IQ entity-level identifier. This created a single master hierarchy file, linking disparate data feeds.

The testing phase was a success, with Kensho Link's logic producing reliable results. The bank embraced the solution, benefiting from automation in data consolidation and validation. They could process thousands of records efficiently and scale for anticipated data growth. The standardized profiles supported the bank's cross-sell initiatives, and data feeds were consolidated for high-quality reference data across asset classes.

Industry-Leading Estimates Upgrade Stakeholder Reporting

The Investor Relations (IR) team at a leading U.S. airline, responsible for communicating the company's financial performance and investment plans to investors and stakeholders, sought to enhance their reporting and presentations.

They previously relied on consensus estimates, obtained through individual brokerage relationships, which proved cumbersome. Their goal was to access more comprehensive, real-time data to better gauge market sentiment and sharpen their reports. They needed standardized global financial forecasting measures, industry-specific metrics, and the ability to analyze evolving market expectations.

Turning to S&P Global Market Intelligence, the IR team discovered the S&P Capital IQ Estimates dataset which had recently been expanded to include over 60 industry-specific operating forecasts across 14 key sectors, including airlines.
