The child abuse scandal at RYB Education Inc. (NYSE:RYB) reduced its stock price by nearly 40% last week, just three months after the company’s New York Stock Exchange IPO.

Bloomberg Launches New RMB Bond Suite For Global Investors

RMB Bond Suite features the industry’s most advanced fixed income investment tools for China’s interbank bond market

BEIJING and HONG KONG, May 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Bloomberg today announced the launch of its new RMB Bond Suite, the industry’s most advanced fixed income investment tools for China’s vast bond market, now the world’s third-largest debt market valued at over $9 trillion. Bloomberg’s RMB Bond Suite covers rate and credit, and includes critical fixed income data, real time curves and economic indicators, combined with Bloomberg’s powerful analytics.

generated by system

"As China’s burgeoning interbank bond market continues to open up to foreign participation, global investors need an increasingly sophisticated set of tools to help them gain deeper insight and an edge into its market opportunities," said Ee Chuan Ng, Bloomberg’s head of China. "By bringing our deep fixed income expertise and heritage to China, we believe the RMB Bond Suite will enhance market transparency, and redefine the workflow for both onshore and offshore investors."

Over the last year, China has taken steps to open up its bond market while Chinese financial regulators focus on deleveraging and risk mitigation in the financial sector.  The deleveraging campaign has driven volatility in China’s bond market, caused yields to rise and widened credit spreads. The RMB Bond Suite gives investors a set of tools to perform deeper market analysis, thereby uncovering opportunities for trading and hedging.

The RMB Bond Suite features a China brokers page, or MOSB CN <GO>, with real-time trade data from five money brokers1 providing the most liquidity. It also includes bond issuance data, company fundamental information, market-recognized league tables, market share analysis, real-time benchmark yield curves, news headlines, PBOC’s open market operations calculator, bond futures pricing tools and comprehensive credit analytics.

Powered by Bloomberg’s best-in-class analytics, portfolio managers can now view historical yield movement of bonds, discover the most liquid bond of each tenor or across the whole market, link this data into their trading workflow and build customized curves of selected bonds.

"Portfolio managers and traders now have an essential set of fixed income tools that can enable them to have a micro and a macro view of both the domestic fixed income market and overseas markets," said Dr. Luo Feng, General Manager of Financial Markets at China Zheshang Bank. "One of the best aspects of the Bloomberg’s RMB Bond Suite is how it supports the entire workflow – from fixed income price discovery, data, curves, analysis and news."

Based on a Bloomberg Singapore Buyside forum in March 2017, 59% of market participants say they are actively exploring to invest in the China bond market, and 29% say they are already investing in the market. The size of China’s local currency bonds currently equals a fifth of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index, a $45 trillion benchmark. According to China’s central bank data, by the end of 2016, over 400 foreign financial institutions have invested in China’s bond market, with total investment of about $120 billion (or 852 billion yuan).

"Over the medium to long term, China’s onshore debt will inevitably become a significant part of global fixed income portfolios," said Freddy Wong, Portfolio Manager at Fidelity International, who oversees the first private onshore bond fund launched by a global asset management firm in China. "There are huge investment opportunities in China’s onshore bond market. RMB assets (bonds and equities) are some of the most under-invested and under-allocated assets in the world. Undeniably, the RMB bond markets are the future of Asia’s bond markets and will play a dominant role in global financial markets in many years to come."

The launch of Bloomberg’s RMB Bond Suite is an extension of the company’s broader strategic focus on China’s fixed income market, following the recent inclusion of Chinese bonds into its global fixed income indices. In March 2017, Bloomberg was the first index provider to include China bonds in its global indices offering when it launched two new parallel fixed income indices that include RMB-denominated China bonds on top of the global indices under the Bloomberg Barclays Benchmark Fixed Income Index family.

U.S. News & World Report Releases 2017 Best Colleges Rankings

Princeton, Williams and UC–Berkeley take No. 1 Spots

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — U.S. News & World Report today announced the 2017 Best Colleges rankings to help students worldwide compare the academic quality of more than 1,800 U.S.-based schools. Princeton University remains No. 1 in the Best National Universities category. For the 14th consecutive year, Williams College takes the top spot on the Best National Liberal Arts Colleges list.

California schools and military academies make a strong showing on the Top Public Schools lists. University of California—Berkeley is the No. 1 Top Public School among National Universities for the 19th year; the United States Naval Academy is the No. 1 Top Public School among National Liberal Arts Colleges.

The U.S. News rankings focus on academic excellence, with schools ranked on up to 15 measures of academic quality. Overall, the rankings emphasize student outcomes – including graduation and retention rates – which carry the most weight at 30 percent. The top National Universities and National Liberal Arts Colleges had significantly higher graduation and freshman retention rates than other schools:  

  • The average six-year graduation rate is 95 percent for the top 10 National Universities and 93.9 percent for the top 10 National Liberal Arts Colleges.
  • The average freshman retention rate is 98.1 percent for the top 10 National Universities and 96.6 percent for the top 10 National Liberal Arts Colleges.
  • For comparison, the average six-year graduation rate among all numerically ranked schools on the National Universities list is 71.3 percent, and the average freshman retention rate is 86.9 percent.
  • For comparison, the average six-year graduation rate among all numerically ranked schools on the National Liberal Arts Colleges list is 75.2 percent, and the average freshman retention rate is 85.6 percent.

"I encourage parents and students to use the wealth of data and information in Best Colleges to identify schools that suit their specific needs," said Brian Kelly, editor and chief content officer of U.S. News. "In addition to considering factors like location and cost, families should pay close attention to graduation and retention rates. These are important indicators of how well a school supports its students both academically and financially. Getting into a good school means nothing if you cannot graduate."

For students with specific career paths in mind, U.S. News ranks the top schools in undergraduate engineering and business. The rankings also encompass the Most Innovative Schools and a list of the A-plus Schools for B Students. School profiles include specifics on academic life, financial aid, student body makeup and more.

To help international students who are interested in studying abroad, the 2017 edition of Best Colleges includes a list of colleges and universities with the Most International Students. In addition, U.S. News publishes a resource center in Chinese to prepare Chinese students applying to U.S. universities. The special editorial section includes information on the admissions process, working with agents, paying for college and more.

The college ranking categories are based on the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, the most widely accepted classification system in U.S. higher education. In February 2016, Carnegie released official updates – called the "2015 update" – including to the Basic Classification used in the 2017 Best Colleges. As a result, about 12 percent of ranked schools moved into different categories compared with last year. The Carnegie classification system has been used by U.S. News since the first Best Colleges rankings in 1983.

In an exclusive arrangement, the launch of the 2017 Best Colleges is being sponsored by Fidelity Investments.
