This book details the difference between the two rating industries, but this difference is converging all the time. The concept of investing in a more responsible and sustainable manner is drawing in some of the world’s leading investors and, with it, regulations and policies are developing at the highest levels. However, the market is not getting what it needs to fully submit to the concept of responsible investing. It has called for more to be done from those tasked with injecting information into their processes, and two industries in particular have been identified as being natural partners. It has been suggested that they are on a collision course to serve the mainstream investor, and in this book, that collision course is contextualised, explained, presented, and finally its outcome predicted.

This Palgrave Pivot aims to examine the bourgeoning relationship between the Principles for Responsible Investment and the Credit Rating Industry. Since May of 2016, when the partnership was initially publicised, the PRI have endeavoured to incorporate Credit Rating Agencies into its initiative via its ‘ESG in Credit Ratings Initiative’, and have been working diligently to find, and create common ground between Credit Rating Agencies and Institutional Investors seeking to be more forward-looking in their investment approaches. However, in recent years the ‘Big Two’ Credit Rating Agencies – Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s – have finally received record fines for their conduct in the run-up to the Financial Crisis. There is a need, then, to examine the incorporation of the Credit Rating Agencies into such a progressive initiative. To achieve this objective, this book examines the field of ‘responsible investing’, the credit rating industry, and the power dynamic that exists between the rating industry, investors, and the PRI (via its ‘Initiative’).

Credit rating agencies play a critical role in capital markets, guiding the asset allocation of institutional investors as private capital moves freely around the world in search of the best trade-off between risk and return. However, they have also been strongly criticised for failing to spot the Asian crisis in the early 1990s, the Enron, WorldCom and Parmalat collapses in the early 2000s and finally for their ratings of subprime-related structured finance instruments and their role in the current financial crisis. This book is a guide to ratings, the ratings industry and the mechanics and economics of obtaining a rating. It sheds light on the role that the agencies play in the international financial markets. It avoids the sensationalist approach often associated with studies of rating scandals and the financial crisis, and instead provides an objective and critical analysis of the business of ratings. The book will be of practical use to any individual who has to deal with ratings and the ratings industry in their day-to-day job. Reviews "Rating agencies fulfil an important role in the capital markets, but given their power, they are frequently the object of criticism. Some of it is justified but most of it portrays a lack of understanding of their business. In their book The Rating Agencies and their Credit Ratings, Herwig and Patricia Langohr provide an excellent economic background to the role of rating agencies and also a thorough understanding of their business and the problems they face. I recommend this book to all those who have an interest in this somewhat arcane but extremely important area." -Robin Monro-Davies, Former CEO, Fitch Ratings. "At a time of unprecedented public and political scrutiny of the effectiveness and indeed the basic business model of the Credit Rating industry, and heightened concerns regarding the transparency and accountability of the leading agencies, this book provides a commendably comprehensive overview, and should provide invaluable assistance in the ongoing debate." -Rupert Atkinson, Managing Director, Head of Credit Advisory Group, Morgan Stanley and member of the SIFMA Rating Agency Task Force "The Langohrs have provided useful information in a field where one frequently finds only opinions or misconceptions. They supply a firm base from which to understand changes now underway. A well-read copy of this monograph should be close to the desk of every investor, issuer and financial regulator, legislator or commentator." -John Grout, Policy and Technical Director, The Association of Corporate Treasurers

ESG Rating Agencies and Financial Regulation presents an essential and nuanced understanding of rating agencies through the utilisation of signalling theory. Daniel Cash provides fresh insight on the role of ESG rating agencies in the financial market and explores the relationship between ESG and modern business practices to explain the continued drive for effective ESG rating agencies. This cutting-edge book offers analyses of the latest regulatory endeavours involving ESG ratings while acknowledging the pitfalls of such agencies, including a lack of transparency and variant stakeholder preferences. Through the application of signalling theory, Cash concludes that while credit ratings agencies continue to prevail due to the sense of trust provided by the involvement of third parties in financial transactions, the same is not yet true of ESG rating agencies. Cash demonstrates that for these agencies to be truly efficient they must operate as an oligopoly, an approach that may seem uncomfortable to many. The book provides an up-to-date investigation of why a natural oligopoly is desired in the ESG rating space and summarises the consequences of this for both investors and regulators. Academics and students of financial law, economics, and financial sustainability will find this book to be an invaluable resource. Due to its practical implications, the book will additionally benefit sustainability-concerned regulators.

This book examines the transgressions of the credit rating agencies before, during and after the recent financial crisis. It proposes that by restricting the agencies’ ability to offer ancillary services there stands the opportunity to limit, in an achievable and practical manner, the potentially negative effect that the Big Three rating agencies – Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch – may have upon the financial sector and society moreover. The book contains an extensive and in-depth discussion about how the agencies ascended to their current position, why they were able to do so and ultimately their behaviour once their position was cemented. This work offers a new framework for the reader to follow, suggesting that investors, issuers and the state have a ‘desired’ version of the agencies in their thinking and operate upon that basis when, in fact, those imagined agencies do not exist, as demonstrated by the ‘actual’ conduct of the agencies. The book primarily aims to uncover this divergence and reveal the ‘real’ credit rating agencies, and then on that basis propose a real and potentially achievable reform to limit the negative effects that result from poor performance in this Industry. It addresses the topics with regard to financial regulation and the financial crisis, and will be of interest to legal scholars interested in the intersection between business and he law as well as researchers, academics, policymakers, industry and professional associations and students in the fields of corporate law, banking and finance law, financial regulation, corporate governance and corporate finance.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,7, University of applied sciences Frankfurt a. M., language: English, abstract: This bachelor thesis examines the challenges of ESG ratings and attempts to find a solution to these explored challenges. To answer this question, a theoretical definition of ESG and SRI is given first, followed by a discussion of ratings' theoretical background, standards, and rating agencies' traditional procedures. The classic challenges of ratings are also considered. The differences to ESG ratings are then discussed, and sustainability ratings and sustainability rating agencies are examined. In the following part, the individual challenges of ESG ratings discussed theoretically are described. After the theoretical foundations, the challenges are clarified in an analysis. The analysis refers to two different industries. Based on the results, possible solutions are proposed and discussed. A conclusion is followed. Sustainability has been a highly debated topic for a long time. Waste separation, the purchase of regional food, electricity supply options and the fight against plastic waste are indispensable topics for society. The matter has not yet played such a significant role in financial investments, but interest is growing. Millennials are open to sustainable investments. This area of interest is shown by a representative YouGov study commissioned by the fund company Deka. Nevertheless, only six per cent of investors own sustainable investments. This occurrence is maybe because the topic is complex for investors to grasp. There is even a lack of a generally valid definition of sustainability. There are indeed several quality seals that make orientation easier, but there are no standards. The EU Commission wants to change that and is working on critical criteria for sustainable investments, but it will be some time before these are fully implemented throughout the EU.
