Summary
S&P Global announced the launch of WSO Compliance Insights, a compliance management solution designed to enhance credit risk management for private credit and CLO managers, according to a PR Newswire release. The application is available through S&P Global Market Intelligence and uses real-time data streaming to streamline compliance processes, eliminate end-of-day batch processing and improve decision-making.
The company positions the product against a backdrop of growing complexity in private credit. The release states that private credit assets under management are projected to exceed $3 trillion by 2028, and that managers face mounting compliance challenges from complex loan terms and detailed legal documentation. WSO Compliance Insights is intended to help users navigate legal requirements, manage risk and increase transparency in a market the release describes as traditionally opaque.
Key features include real-time test visualization, advanced hypothetical trade analysis connected to the WSO loan portfolio software, cross-deal comparison with side-by-side test results, customizable interactive dashboards with drill-down capabilities, and historical reporting with automated snapshots and scheduling by effective or execution date. The hypothetical trade functionality covers CDOs, CLOs, private credit, Separately Managed Accounts and Total Return Swaps.
Alfredo Milera, Head of Lending Solutions at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said the solution "streamlines compliance management while enhancing transparency and responsiveness, ensuring better accuracy of test results through advanced compliance rules modeling." The product can also be deployed as a fully managed service in which S&P Global experts handle compliance obligations as needed.
The launch follows other private markets initiatives from S&P Global. These include a collaboration with Cambridge Associates and Mercer on private markets performance analytics, set to launch in beta by year-end 2025, and a collaboration with NewVest on the S&P Private Equity 50 Indices, which measure the performance of 50 of the largest available private equity funds. The company also cited a no-code Snowflake integration into its iLEVEL portfolio monitoring platform.
