Associated Obligor

Standard & Poor's Associated Obligor helps financial professionals better monitor exposure and manage credit risk by connecting the entities that are responsible for paying and/or guaranteeing debt to applicable financial securities.

Associated Obligor helps identify the increasingly complex inter-relationships that exist across an entity, its subsidiaries and their financial instruments and obligations for fixed income holdings to:

• Determine the obligor responsible for debt service payments
• Reduce credit exposure and counterparty risk
• Improve compliance with insight into security holdings and cross-ownerships
• Increase the understanding of cross-market investing capabilities and exposure

Associated Obligor uses the 9-digit CUSIP identifier to link multiple securities to a 6-digit reference ID. In addition to identifying the security payment obligor, the service identifies existing Terms & Conditions data for the underlying security.
