Abstract
This panel focuses on alternate ratings and their impact on traditional ratings. The panel addresses where rating agency performance fell short and where did it not; how investors view ratings and rating agencies and what are they looking for now from rating agencies; how Rule 17g-5 has changed the competitive landscape in the ratings business; other key issues arising from the U.S. SEC’s rule-making process on ratings; a proposed rotational system for assigning ratings; whether regulators should assign ratings; how effective the NAIC/PIMCO model has been; how the rating agencies are and should be addressing conflicts of interest; whether there are other viable rating models; and market-based ratings.
