Fitch Ratings has published its first edition of the U.S. Corporates Research Tool.

This tool, implemented as an Excel workbook, illustrates different categories of research classified by market sectors, contributing authors, and report type. This tool provides a visual medium for users to easily navigate through U.S. Corporate team's research portfolio.

Each showcase page highlights five categories of research distinct to each market sector. Fitch subscribers can efficiently find each issue of a recurring report or look at an author's entire collection of research. For example, users can navigate through all the editions of 'Navigating the Drug Channel' on the Healthcare page and sort through the set of U.S. Corporate Bankruptcy Case Studies on the Leveraged Finance page.

Each sector showcase page also includes an agenda for upcoming research, investor roundtables and conferences in the 'Pipeline' section.

Fitch's U.S. Corporates Research Tool is a monthly publication. The link to the latest edition will be available on the U.S. & Canada Showcase page.
