BOISE, Idaho, August 1, 2024 — Clearwater Analytics (NYSE: CWAN), a leading worldwide provider of SaaS-based investment management, accounting, reporting, and analytics solutions, today announced the availability of its CP Issuance tool for firms that issue commercial paper, with a modern workflow for CP issuance, a rates research module for generating custom reports and benchmarking, and a reporting engine for bespoke reports illustrating balance sheets, exposures, and performance.
Clearwater’s CP Issuance tool replaces a process that has been bogged down by spreadsheet-dependency, key man risk and resource-intensive manual data aggregation. Clearwater Analytics addresses these industry challenges head-on with a comprehensive suite of modules designed to efficiently transform an organization’s commercial paper program:
- Issuance Manager: Users can see upcoming maturities by dealer, set ranges, rates, and allocations by dealer for upcoming issuances. Once these are set, dealers automatically receive instructions.
- Rates Research: This module can help users decide what rate ranges at which to issue new CP, while facilitating peer comparison, benchmarking, and reporting. Users can compare rates across a multitude of sources, including but not limited to paper dealers, SOFR, Fed CP, and prior day aggregated execution rates.
- Dashboards: Users can tap Clearwater’s world-class reporting platform to run customized, automated reports and see liabilities in relation to assets.
- Issuance Tracker: Users can conduct real-time monitoring of the intraday issuance process. This includes a meticulous comparison of instructions, settlements, and pending vs. settled transactions.
By converging these capabilities into a single centralized hub, Clearwater’s CP Issuance tool presents a modern solution offering a real-time panoramic view of CP issuances.
