White & Case LLP has launched the White & Case Debt Explorer, a free interactive research tool that allows users to examine data, create custom charts and compare issuance levels across the international leveraged loan and high-yield bond markets.

Custom charts

The tool, which uses Debtwire Par's primary issuance data from 2015 onwards, can be used to compare data and create custom charts about the value and volume of global leveraged loan and high-yield bond activity across all sectors. Users will be able to analyze data and create market snapshots through an easy-to-use, chart-based tool by selecting variables including date range, geography, instrument type, primary use of proceeds, and sectors. The site also includes commentary by White & Case partners on relevant topics for the leveraged finance market (including leveraged loans and high-yield bonds) across relevant markets and sectors.

Easy-to-use

The customized data can be downloaded in a chart format, shared on social media and embedded in websites. Users can also sign up to receive alerts when new data or articles are available at the start of each quarter. White & Case say Debt Explorer is the first free, easy-to-use research tool of its kind for the leveraged loan and high-yield bond markets and is the only tool that customizes data through a chart-based format. The White & Case Debt Explorer follows the successful launch of the White & Case M&A Explorer in January 2017. The tool can be accessed here.
