Unrated Universe

Effectively assess creditworthiness and limit losses with S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Credit Assessment Scorecards which provides a framework to help navigate today’s climate and assess the probability of a default (PD). This is especially important for “low default” portfolios that lack extensive internal data necessary for the construction of statistical models that can be robustly calibrated and validated.

Our universe of probability of default (PD) and loss-given default (LGD) offerings covers over 70 Scorecards sector-specific, globally applicable sector and geographic coverage for all major asset classes, governments, real estate, and project finance.

Credit Assessment Scorecards includes:

  • Microsoft Excel based model that provides a consistent framework for calculating credit risk.
  • Identification of Default Risk through a granular 20-point rating scale. Users can generate PD and LGD values and perform sensitivity analyses, scenario analyses, and stress tests.
  • Scores that are designed to broadly align with S&P Global Ratings1 supported by historical default data dating back to 1981.


Easily assess the potential default of your counterparties and investments with our suite of market and fundamentals driven analytical models that deliver probability of default (PD) and credit scores that broadly align with S&P Global Ratings for over 5 million public and private companies globally. You can also access pre-scores, or create scores with your own proprietary data for effective credit risk management.

  • Leverage both financial data and the most relevant macroeconomic data to generate a quantitative credit score that is designed to broadly align with credit ratings by S&P Global Ratings with CreditModel™.
  • Generate a probability of default (PD) value over a one- to more than 30-year horizon for public and private corporations of any size, and maps them to our credit scores with PD Model Fundamentals.
  • Gain a market-driven analysis of credit risk that links market movements to a company’s PD with PD Model Market Signals. The model generates short-term PD values that are updated daily to reflect current market information, and are then mapped to a credit score.
Streamline your counterparty credit risk assessment with RiskGauge Reports from S&P Global Market intelligence. These detailed business credit reports are powered by dynamic analytical models and extensive private company data, and are available for over 50 million public and private companies across the globe—including small- and medium-enterprises (SMEs).
