Moody's to Host Teleconference on "Request for Comment on Money Market Fund Methodology"
Moody's Investors Service will host a Teleconference & Webinar on its recently-released "Request for Comment on Money Market Fund Methodology" Tuesday morning (Sept. 14) at 10am EDT. The call will be hosted by Yaron Ernst, Managing Director of Moody's Global Managed Investments Group, and will last approximately 30 minutes. (A replay will be available later too.) See Moody's recent "Request for Comment: New Money Market Fund Rating Methodology and Symbols," which says, "The refined rating methodology, if implemented after a 60-day request-for-comment period, would recalibrate our primary analytical inputs, such as a fund portfolio's underlying asset quality, its liquidity position and susceptibility to market risk, and the likelihood of support from the fund's sponsor. Under the proposed rating system, we would introduce a new five-point rating scale for money market funds ranging from MF1+ (strongest) to MF4 (weakest)."
