OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch Solutions is pleased to announce that Silverfinch, a leading provider of secure Solvency II look-through data, has partnered with Fitch Solutions to provide Silverfinch's insurer clients with Fitch's credit ratings. The credit ratings will help allow insurers to comply with Solvency II regulatory reporting and risk management capital requirements for their investment portfolios.

Fitch Ratings' 34,000 global credit ratings will now be included in Silverfinch's Solvency II look-through service. This addition allows asset managers who use Silverfinch to now incorporate Fitch's credit ratings at no additional cost and in a seamless and efficient manner.

John Dowdall, Managing Director of Silverfinch, said: "With Solvency II implementation beginning on 1 January, the addition of Fitch's credit ratings will provide our clients with further transparency on the credit quality of their insurance company investments. We see this as another strong argument for using Silverfinch."

"Silverfinch is a recognised leader in providing Solvency II data solutions for asset managers. Today's announcement enables us to broaden the reach of our ratings and further develop relationships with key market participants," said Mark McNerney, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Fitch Solutions.
