About us

Instanter is an online news and data service on the Asian syndicated loan market, available to subscribers only.

We publish real time news stories and data at www.instanter.com.hk. To help users find relevant information more easily, in April 2016 we upgraded our system so that every web page contains a summary of each deal’s current terms. Every story shows related headlines to help users understand a deal’s history.

Our archive contains more than 15,000 reports published since October 2011.

As well as real time stories, subscribers have two daily email options:

- Daily Headlines gives a quick overview of the day’s news with a link to each story. Users must logon to read the full details.
- Daily Recap gives a summary of each story within the text of the email without logging on. It contains the main details of each story without the need to enter a password. It can be read on mobile devices.

At the end of each week we publish our Review newsletter which gives a complete summary of the week’s events. We publish 50 weekly newsletters every year in PDF format only. Users can do on-screen keyword searches and print the document.

Instanter aims to give you loan market news as soon as it is available, in as much detail as possible.

We have recently launched our DATA^TM platform which integrates with our well-established news service. Subscribers can select and compile deal data and do macro market analysis. The latest version creates borrower profiles, charts pricing trends, compiles liquidity analysis spread sheets, searches for maturing deals, examines lending bank activity, and compares deals side by side. All the reports can be exported to Excel or PDF formats. The roll-out of the database began in May 2017.

Instanter is managed by Michael Lawes, the founder of the basis point newsletter and Basisfield database.
