Powerful early warning indicator incorporating data from BVAL enables clients to proactively mitigate credit risk and identify trading and investment opportunities

Bloomberg today announced its Market-Implied Probability of Default (MIPD) product, a fully market-driven creditworthiness indicator, is now available to both Enterprise Data and Bloomberg Terminal clients globally. MIPD enables clients to easily incorporate creditworthiness metrics within their existing workflows for a more holistic approach to credit risk management.

The turbulence of 2020 increased awareness of numerous global struggles, including climate change, poverty and racial injustice, and that awareness increased engagement in philanthropic giving. Grant making and charitable contributions to donor-advised funds are rapidly accelerating, reflecting donors’ desires to create solutions to problems in their local and global communities.

In March, Bloomberg convened a panel of experts to discuss unique perspectives on themes impacting the future of wealth management. “Advising through a philanthropic Lens,”  focused on the experiential aspect of philanthropy, the need for multigenerational planning, and the technological future of charitable giving.

But will the changes of the last year accelerate the adoption of higher sustainability standards in Malaysia and the rest of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region?

This shift, as well as ESG reporting, regulation, and the future of sustainability in Malaysia, were all topics under discussion during a recent Bloomberg co-hosted fireside chat with Muhamad Umar Swift, CEO of Bursa Malaysia, the country’s stock exchange, and who is also advisor to the United Nations Global Compact, Malaysia & Brunei.

In conversation with Vignesh R.S., ASEAN Head of Specialist Sales at Bloomberg, Umar shared his thoughts on the general sustainability landscape, as well as Bursa Malaysia’s vision of ESG in Malaysia. “There’s been a lot of conversation around ESG assets performing better than non-ESG assets over the...

Asset managers in the U.K. likely need to accelerate diversity efforts, in our view, with slow progress made so far. Laggards are at risk of investment-consultant downgrades and could lose out on generating strong returns using teams that are better representative of societal demographics. As gender-pay-gap reporting deadlines are extended, focus is shifting to ethnicity, LGBTQ+, and social diversity.
