Ratings of risk
bond issuers often seek a rating from one or more private ratings agencies before
they issue bonds
the selected agencies investigate the issuer’s ability to service the bonds,
including such matters as financial strength, the intended use of the funds, the
political and regulatory environment, and potential economic changes.
after completing its investigation, an agency will issue a rating that represents its
estimate of the default risk, the likelihood that the issuer will fail to service
the bonds as required.
three well-known companies are Moody’s Investors Service, Standard &
Poor’s, and Fitch ibca.
