Clients often ask about the type of credits included in the "Standard Credit Universe." For a detailed explanation, open your CreditScope program. On the Task Bar located on the left side of your screen, highlight "CreditScope."
Below that, select the first heading that is bolded with a small triangle pointed to the right. A list of sectors will be displayed. The sector names notated with an asterisk are considered current Merritt Sectors and thus contain the credits included in the Standard Credit Universe. Credits which fall within Sectors not notated by an asterisk can often be made available in your system through an extended surveillance agreement. For additional information on how to obtain standardized data related to these credits and how you might benefit from an extended surveillance agreement, please contact Merritt Research Services at service@merrittresearch.com.
