About 9fin

The world's largest asset class, debt, operates with the worst data.

Technology has revolutionized equity markets with electronic trading, quant algos, and instantaneous news. However, in debt capital markets, the picture remains outdated; trillions of dollars of trades are placed over the phone, news is slow, and corporate credit information is scattered and imperfect.
