BOND DATA is a financial technology company specializing in automated data analytics for municipal and corporate bond investors. Our mission is to enhance transparency in fixed income markets, empowering investors to make well-informed decisions. We’re at the forefront of revolutionizing one of the world’s largest financial markets with our industry-leading quantitative technology.
“Our professional experiences positioned us to identify unaddressed needs and opportunities within the fixed income market. Time at S&P Global Ratings taught us how to build rating calculation and credit forecasting engines. Time at Morningstar honed our ability to develop fintech products and applications. Finally, managing a multi-billion-dollar portfolio on the buyside provided us with extensive bond trading and portfolio management expertise. The confluence of these experiences enabled us to identify existing gaps within the fixed income industry, inspiring the inception of BOND DATA to resolve them.”
Michael Furla, CFA, Founder & CEO of BOND DATA, began his career at S&P Global Ratings as a municipal bond rating analyst. He then held leadership positions including: Head of the Analytic Architecture & Operations Team, member of the Analytic Data and Process Team (ADAPT), member of the Local Government General Obligation Criteria Implementation Team, and Co-Product Owner of the Local Government Credit Scoring Tool. Michael helped build and implement S&P’s internal municipal surveillance system which would forecast rating upgrades and downgrades. After S&P, Michael joined Morningstar as a Fixed Income Methodology Engineer where he helped construct Morningstar’s analytics engine which computes fixed income risk and return metrics for asset manager portfolios (e.g., duration, effective maturity, yield, and average credit quality). After Morningstar, Michael worked on the buyside at The Mather Group, LLC as Managing Director, Head of Fixed Income and Co-Head of the Investment Department. Over a seven-year period he helped grow and scale the firm from $800 million to $12 billion in assets under management. He developed the firm’s investment philosophy, led the Investment Committee, and managed a $5 billion fixed income portfolio of municipal, corporate, treasury, MBS, high yield, international and emerging market debt. As a recognized thought leader in the fixed income industry, Michael is a frequent speaker at industry panels, podcasts, webinars, and his insights have appeared in publications such as The Wall Street Journal and Citywire. Michael holds a BS from Indiana University, is a Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA) charterholder, and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP) professional.
