Municipal issuers, with shrinking tax bases and budget shortfalls are facing unprecedented challenges in today’s uncertain economic environment.
Municipal investors have been shaken by the turmoil in the Financial Guarantee industry and most of the guarantors have stopped providing new credit enhancement services, are not conducting credit analysis on new exposures and are primarily focused on their non-municipal portfolios.
Rating agencies and their approach have been under attack following the market meltdown and pending regulation calls into question just how they will operate prospectively.
Taxable investors have entered the municipal space (Build America Bonds) and are demanding tools to support more in-depth analysis.
These changes call for the services of Lumesis.
Professionals responsible for managing or analyzing financial exposure to municipalities and municipal authorities recognize the need to augment their traditional credit review process. Through its DIVER product, Lumesis brings to the market a new and insightful tool to help fixed income professionals see the risks in the market, plot their exposures against that risk and make informed decisions and recommendations.
The origin of our name “Lumesis” comes from two words – illuminate and genesis. These words capture the visual nature of our DIVER tool which was designed to bring “new light,” “new perspectives,” and “new insights” to its users. At Lumesis, the needs of our clients surpass everything else. We are absolutely committed to providing quality service both in terms of the product we deliver and the people that support it. We listen to you - our current and prospective clients and direct the development of our products to meet your needs. Drawing on the deep and varied experience of our professionals, and responding to the needs of our clients, Lumesis delivers for you.
