Moody's Investors Service is among the world's most respected, widely utilized sources for credit ratings, research and risk analysis. Moody’s commitment and expertise contributes to stable, transparent and integrated financial markets, protecting the integrity of credit. The firm publishes market-leading credit opinions, deal research and commentary, serving more than 9,300 customer accounts at some 2,400 institutions around the globe.
Moody's independence and integrity have earned us the trust of capital market participants worldwide. Our ratings and analysis track debt covering more than 100 sovereign nations, 12,000 corporate issuers, 29,000 public finance issuers, and 96,000 structured finance obligations.
Moody's default studies validate our predictive ratings. Our published research and investor briefings draw thousands of attendees each year and keep investors current with the rationale underlying our credit opinions.
In recent years, Moody's has moved significantly beyond its traditional bond rating activities, assigning ratings to issuers of securities, insurance company obligations, bank loans, bank deposits and other bank debt, managed funds and derivatives. The firm also has expanded into developing markets through joint ventures and affiliations with local rating agencies.
In addition to its ratings services, Moody's publishes investor-oriented credit research, including in-depth research on major debt issuers, industry studies, special comments and credit opinion handbooks. While research, analysis and data are delivered through a number of channels, most of Moody's clients use the firm's Web site for access to such services in a real-time environment.
Detailed descriptions of both the rated issue and issuer, along with a summary of the rationale for the assignment of the specific rating, also appear in various Moody's credit research products. Product selection includes insurance, utilities, speculative-grade instruments, structured finance, public finance, bank, finance, real estate and global credit research.
Moody's maintains offices in most of the world's major financial centers and employs approximately 3,000 people worldwide, including more than 1,000 analysts.
Clients include investors, depositors, creditors, investment banks, commercial banks, other financial intermediaries, and a wide range of corporate and governmental issuers of securities.
