Bells & Bayes Rating Analytics is an independent Credit Rating Agency.

Rating agencies are remarkably influential in global capital markets. Financial asset ratings are both deeply embedded in the regulatory framework of financial institutions and greatly documented in the scientific finance literature. Here is an illustration of how relevant ratings can be: in 1936, commercial banks in the United States were prohibited from buying bonds rated below investment grade (BBB). In 1974, if securities brokers/dealers wanted to own securities rated below BBB, they were required to have more capital to run their businesses. It is in this context of a confident contribution to the promotion of market efficiency that B&B Rating Analytics was born in 2022. Our performance consists of caring for preserving the confidence of agents in the capital market, in order to ensure that they have the necessary ability to operate efficiently. To this end, B&B Rating Analytics preserves independence, objectivity, competence, prudence, caution and discretion in the development of its work.
