CMA — the credit information specialist is headquartered in London with offices in New York. In 2012 we were taken over by S& ... P Capital IQ. CMA is the world’s leading source of independent data on the OTC markets. Thousands of individuals in financial institutions around the world rely daily on our data and technology to provide them with the clear, reliable pricing and related OTC information they require. Our clients range from some of the largest investment banks and asset managers in the world, to boutique hedge funds and risk management firms. In late 2001 a group of credit specialists decided to improve the way that business was conducted in the OTC credit markets. Frustrated by the vast, disorganised flow of information and lack of transparency, they set up CMA to deliver innovative solutions. CMA was first to: * Enable traders to view, organize and store the quotes that they receive in real-time, regardless of format -CMA Quotevision™. * Provide a new methodology for independent CDS price verification, enabling organizations to have a true market view and more accurately evaluate their end-of-day positions - CMA Datavision™. CMA organises and structures CDS and bond quotes and valuation data to enable credit market professionals to make sense of the data that surrounds them. read more
