The story of this landscape begins at the water’s edge, where the turquoise depth of a glacial lake remains so still it acts as a perfect mirror. In the foreground, ancient silver beech trees lean over the shoreline, their moss-covered roots anchoring the frame in a rich, earthy green. As your eyes move upward, the jagged grey schist of the mountains takes over, dusted with an early autumn snow that highlights every crevice and ridge.
This specific resolution captures the "Land of the Long White Cloud" in a cinematic sweep, emphasizing the dramatic scale of the Aotearoa backcountry. It isn't just a background; it’s a silent invitation to the silence of the high country, where the only sound is the distant rush of a meltwater waterfall and the occasional cry of a mountain kea.

Evaluating LGD:
S&P Global Market Intelligence's LGD scorecards are used to estimate LGD term structures. These Scorecards are judgment-driven and identify the PiT estimates of loss. The Scorecards are back-tested to evaluate their predictive power on over 2,000 defaulted bonds.
The Corporate, Insurance, Bank, and Sovereign LGD Scorecards are linked to our fundamental databases, meaning no information is required from users for all listed companies and for a large number of private companies.
Final LGD term structures are based on macroeconomic expectations for countries to which these issuers are exposed. Fundamental and macroeconomic data is provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence, but users can again easily utilize internal estimates.
