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 research and risk analysis for sovereign, sub-sovereign, and corporate entities and municipal infrastructure finance. With three key components – default probability, recovery gradings, and event risk – Smith’s Gradings has become an indispensable part of Wall Street and the 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 gradings and credit analysis, our bi-weekly publication provides news, analysis and intelligence to help analysts navigate the credit sectors. Our conferences, such as the Smith’s Affordable Housing Finance Conference, Infrastructure Finance and Construction 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 conversation using a sector-oriented approach.
