MSCI and Moody’s will jointly create a solution to provide independent risk assessments for private credit investments at scale, the two firms announced on April 22. 

As the private credit market continues to evolve and grow, the need for consistent standards and better tools has become essential for investors to assess, compare and communicate the risk of their investments, say MSCI and Moody’s.  

MSCI says it has data on more than 2,800 private credit funds and 14,000 individual underlying companies. As part of this joint offering, Moody’s will extend its flagship EDF-X models into MSCI’s private credit solutions. EDF-X delivers risk insights using credit models and early warning signals to help investors assess the financial strength of public and private companies globally.
