English translation: fixed income research

French to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Finance (general)
French term or phrase: recherche obligataire
La traduction économique et financière recouvre un domaine assez vaste, qui va de l'analyse boursière à la communication d'entreprise en passant par la *recherche obligataire*, l'étude économique et la comptabilité

Is it just "bond research" or something else? This is not my field, and I'm unsure here, can't seem to find any bilingual refs out there, but bond research does seem a likely candidate, as I found here: http://www.starkmanassociates.com/clients/equity-bond-resear...

I would appreciate confirmation/suggestions from translators specializing in this field.

Explanation:
The great divide in the securities world is between equity and fixed income, and those are the descriptives that are usually attached to "research". "Bond research" is not wrong, it is just not nearly as common as this term, which is a bit broader.
There isn't a whole lot of research to be done about the largest issuers of bonds (sovereign governments), so in practice most true "bond research" goes by the name of "credit research" or "credit analysis".
