A LITTLE MORE ABOUT
Smith’s Research & Gradings is a leading research company founded by Terence Smith in 1992. We specialize in providing independent, third-party credit analytics and have gained a reputation for predicting significant trends and spotlighting controversial subjects before they come to light elsewhere.
Our flagship product, Smith’s Gradings, offers a comprehensive credit analysis for sovereign, sub-sovereign, and corporate credit risks. With three key components – default probability, recovery gradings, and event risk – Smith’s Gradings have become an indispensable part of Wall Street and the world’s capital markets. Our track record remains unblemished, with accurate predictions of the defaults of dot-coms, the assessment of credit quality for WorldCom, Enron, and United Air Lines during their bankruptcies, and early detection of financial guaranty insurance industry failure.
In addition to our credit analysis, we provide independent, third-party research and analysis through our bi-weekly publication for institutional investors. Smith’s conferences, such as the Smith’s Affordable Housing Finance Conference, State and Local Government Finance Conference, High Yield Municipal Bond Conference, and Smith’s All Star Municipal Analysts Program, provide unique forums for investors and issuers to engage in meaningful content and a sector-oriented approach.
