KDP provides clients with access to its web-based, fixed income research service KDP Advisor, providing fundamental credit analysis and proprietary Default Risk Rankings and recommendations on below-investment-grade companies.
Forward-Looking Proprietary Default Risk Rankings (DRR)
The cornerstone of KDP's research process, and a more effective gauge of credit risk than similar metrics offered by competing services, DRRs assess a company's probability of default and credit quality.
