Debt market news service 9fin said Thursday that it is expanding into Asia.
The company has a staff of six in the region, including editors who previously worked at Bloomberg News and Bond Buyer. A spokeswoman said it plans to expand its staff at its Hong Kong office “in the near future.”
9fin’s coverage includes more than 1,800 issuers and 16,000 instruments, with issuance history dating back to 2003 following 9fin’s acquisition of Bond Radar, in March 2025.
9fin is used by more than 300 institutions globally, including KKR, Apollo, BNP Paribas, and Kirkland & Ellis. The company’s Asia expansion — supported by its $170 million Series C fundraise in March 2026 — marks the next phase of its global expansion.
“The region needs a faster, smarter platform covering the full picture across bonds, loans, private credit and distressed,” said co-founder and CEO Steven Hunter in a statement. “That’s exactly what 9fin provides.”
