Nexus Global Credit & Financial Research (“Nexus”) is a boutique research firm that has been founded on the principles of Independence & Integrity. The name “Nexus” refers to the multiple threads of analysis that require connection to formulate a solid opinion on an obligor’s capacity to repay its debt as per its contractual obligations.The global financial crisis illustrates the fundamental importance of independent credit research and analysis being at the cornerstone of assessing credit risk whatever shape or size it takes. As with all preludes to financial distress there was a weakening of credit assessment in the 2000’s, and a systemic sentiment that the risk/reward trade-off had changed for the better, and a new low risk paradigm had emerged.

Credit losses have significant impact on your balance sheet and economic returns. Moreover, workouts and restructuring take an enormous amount of management time and resources. Independent and competent analysis can significantly reduce your time needed to manage risk and reduce losses.

Nexus believe passionately in the high quality, independence and integrity of credit analysis. There are no shortcuts in your protection against credit risk, and whilst risk cannot be eliminated it can be significantly mitigated through independent, critical and objective analysis. Credit analysis needs to be customized to the risk of each individual obligor which takes deft thinking and experience.
