Metrics are only as good as the data that drive them. The best fundamental data in the world drives our metrics. Here’s proof from some of the most respected public & private institutions in the world.

Our company models provide two versions of Fixed Income metrics:

(1) Traditional metrics use unscrubbed accounting data from the firm’s reported financials.

(2) Adjusted metrics use our scrubbed data, which adjusts for 30+ accounting loopholes.

See below for the Fixed Income metrics available in our models and their calculations.
