Semeris Docs for CLOs provides a growing list of human-AI hybrid summaries of key document sections for investors

Published 11. October 2021.

Our team of CLO analysts work around the clock, improving data and extraction models in Semeris Docs for CLOs.  Working with investors over the past year has allowed us to extend and refine our growing collection of relevant topics of interest in CLO documents.  Tailor your own summary view of the document and the transaction as you see fit by selecting from our available topics repository.

Capturing deal complexity with hierarchical data

Other solutions, especially those configured for multiple document formats might try to present extracted information in a flat question/answer structure. However, this may fail to capture important nuances specific to certain deals -  e.g. different clauses for different periods during the deal life-cycle. For example, different Par Flush mechanisms apply in different time periods, and the definition of these periods might vary from deal to deal. Our solution is specifically designed with CLO investors and deal documents in mind, and knowing the details brings these nuances to light.

Par Flush
