Lucror Analytics

Lucror Analytics is a leading credit and ESG research specialist and a provider of technology solutions for differentiated fixed income strategies. Our roots are in bottom-up fundamental credit analysis with a specialization in high yield corporate credits from Europe, Asia and Latin America. We are one of few research specialists integrating ESG considerations with fundamental credit research through a dedicated ESG platform. Our ESG assessment covers five key criteria: Disclosure, E,S, & G Pillars, Controversies, ESG Impact on Credit and ESG Momentum.

Recognizing the importance and value-add of Factor Investing in fixed income, Lucror developed the Smart Quant Navigator (SQN), an intuitive platform that helps clients devise and implement factor-based strategies ranging from pure quant to active fundamental, with integrated ESG.

Our company has been at the forefront of developments in the fixed income markets, identifying opportunities and consistently delivering new products and value-adding solutions to clients. Lucror has close relationships with the largest and most reputable asset managers, family offices, hedge funds, investment and wealth managers globally.

CIFI Holdings’ FY 2021 results were acceptable in our view. Positively, the company reported healthy growth in earnings and cash collection, albeit the gross margin continued to contract slightly. Leverage improved, with CIFI now in compliance with all of the Three Red Lines. In addition, management has temporarily assuaged investors' concerns over the risks arising from the company's JVs. Crucially, CIFI appears to have adequate liquidity, assuming management’s statement that it has no undisclosed private debt is accurate. Moreover, the company continues to have good access to onshore financing, which would help it weather the crisis. In particular, we believe that CIFI's access to M&A loans would allow it to cherry-pick quality assets from stressed developers, enabling it to benefit from an eventual industry consolidation.
