Evaluating LGD:
S&P Global Market Intelligence's LGD scorecards are used to estimate LGD term structures. These Scorecards are judgment-driven and identify the PiT estimates of loss. The Scorecards are back-tested to evaluate their predictive power on over 2,000 defaulted bonds.
The Corporate, Insurance, Bank, and Sovereign LGD Scorecards are linked to our fundamental databases, meaning no information is required from users for all listed companies and for a large number of private companies.
Final LGD term structures are based on macroeconomic expectations for countries to which these issuers are exposed. Fundamental and macroeconomic data is provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence, but users can again easily utilize internal estimates.
