ISI Markets Unveils AI Platform to Transform Emerging Market Investments

ISI Markets has launched a new AI-driven research platform designed for investors, bankers, and advisers. The tool, called AskISI, turns fragmented data into actionable intelligence to speed up investment decisions in emerging markets. The platform pulls insights from over 7,000 bond prospectuses and related documents. It also covers more than 1,700 companies with a decade of historical financial data. Users can access a continuous stream of over 25,000 news stories published each year.

AskISI focuses on over 2,100 hard-currency corporate bond issuers across emerging and frontier markets. It tracks public bonds, private credit, and primary issuance, offering full coverage of corporate issuers in these regions. The system combines AI with REDD’s proven research to highlight credit risks and market dislocations before they become widely known. The redesigned interface includes tools for filtering content, setting personalised alerts, and creating custom watchlists. Steve Pulley, CEO of ISI Markets, shared his enthusiasm for the platform’s launch and its potential to improve decision-making.

The platform aims to help professionals make faster, better-informed investment choices. By integrating AI with deep market data, it provides early warnings on risks and opportunities in emerging market corporate debt.
