Arrowhead Credit Research Corp. announced its debut with a press release entitled, "Respected Industry Veterans Launch New Independent Credit Research Firm". The new short-duration credit research firm's announcement says, "Arrowhead Credit Research Corp. launches today to provide high quality, in-depth and unbiased credit research to institutional investors including corporate treasurers, pension funds, endowments and hedge funds that manage cash and liquid assets. The subscription-based services offered by Arrowhead Credit Research will support and supplement the internal credit analysis conducted by institutional investors with an emphasis on timely reporting and independent commentary on short-duration credit instruments. Led by industry veterans Zachary H Pashel, chief executive officer, and Barry D. Weiss, director of research ... Arrowhead Credit Research enters the market offering credit research including annual reports and event-driven updates on a large universe of securities and the Arrowhead Weekly -- a commentary on current and emerging market themes, including yield-curve analysis. The firm also offers custom credit research and analysis." Pashel says, "As cash and money market investors have grown wary of the potential conflicts underlying the credit research generated by credit agencies and brokers, and the inadequate services currently available, the need for unbiased, customer-focused credit research has increased significantly. There is a tremendous opportunity for Arrowhead to fill this knowledge gap with our impartial analysis that is not motivated by outside forces."
