Governing Partners
In addition to being Albany's top 'policy shop', PI helps partners to state and local governments in a number of ways:
MuniWatch
A free service that helps users stay abreast of developments among state and local governments. Sign up for this service here:
MuniWatcher
The customized version of MuniWatch that serves as a material information system for municipal market participants. PI uses its proprietary tools and techniques to intensively monitor developments among the state and local governments that the client chooses. Information is delivered electronically to clients each morning so they start the day with the best intelligence available from open sources.
MuniWatchdog
PI moves beyond monitoring to actively analyzing the operations of the state and local governments that the client chooses. It also helps clients formulate, implement and evaluate an engagement strategy so they achieve their short- and long-term goals.
As you can see, some of the leading firms in the municipal bond industry have relied on PI for assistance with surveillance and credit analysis. Now, thanks to a change in regulation, firms are utilizing PI's services to aid with compliance as well.
Please contact PI if you are interested in samples of its MuniWatcher or MuniWatchdog work.
