Moody's has two businesses. The larger one, Moody's Investors Service, assigns credit ratings to bonds and other debt instruments issued by corporations, banks, governments, and structured finance vehicles — issuers and underwriters pay for these ratings when they bring debt to market. The second business, Moody's Analytics, sells credit research, risk assessment software, and financial data to banks, insurers, and other institutional customers on a subscription basis.
