Credit Benchmark Launches PortfolioLens™ to Deliver Customized Credit Risk Insights at Scale

LONDON & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Credit Benchmark, the leading provider of consensus-based credit risk data and analytics, today announced the launch of PortfolioLens™, its new analytics platform designed to deliver instant, portfolio-level insights on credit exposures and emerging risks - even for unrated and opaque counterparties.

What began as bespoke client reports shaped by customer needs has now evolved into a full-scale analytics engine. PortfolioLens™ empowers credit and risk leaders to see their entire portfolio with unprecedented clarity - reducing time spent managing spreadsheets and delivering critical insights in seconds.

“Financial institutions face increasing pressure to defend models, validate credit assumptions, and make faster, better-informed decisions in the face of rising uncertainty,” said Michael Crumpler, CEO of Credit Benchmark. “PortfolioLens™ is purpose-built to solve those challenges - delivering tailored, defensible insights at scale and putting Credit Benchmark’s unique consensus data to work in our clients’ decision-making processes.”

PortfolioLens™ Key Benefits:

• Faster Onboarding: Accelerate decision-making with pre-validated consensus ratings contributed by 40+ global banks.
• Deeper Visibility: Benchmark unrated entities across sectors and geographies, enhancing analysis of private or opaque counterparties.
• Proactive Alerts: Monitor Early Warning Indicators and credit migrations in real time, supporting a robust control framework.

PortfolioLens™ meets the critical needs of credit and risk teams. It accelerates underwriting, closes visibility gaps on unrated entities, and cuts assessment times from days to hours. With peer-based insights, external model validation, and broad coverage, it delivers regulatory-ready data via API, dashboards, or workflow tools.

PortfolioLens™ is designed to scale seamlessly across global portfolios, providing risk teams with customized reporting that saves hours on data cleaning and dashboard creation while strengthening governance and auditability.

“Banks, asset managers, insurers, and corporate lenders need complete, reliable credit intelligence,” said Crumpler. “PortfolioLens™ is our next step in providing them with the tools they need to support stronger, more defensible decisions.”
