Rapid Ratings International
Rapid Ratings International, Inc., is an independent ratings, research and analytics firm that uses a proprietary quantitative system to rate the financial health of corporations and financial institutions. The company generates revenue through a user-paid model, wherein customers pay a subscription fee to access public company ratings or request ratings on their privately held counterparties. This contrasts with the controversial issuer-paid model employed by many of the Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs), such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, and Fitch Ratings.〔Demos, Telis. ("Twitter Squeezes Banks on IPO" ), ''The Wall Street Journal'', New York, October 13, 2013.〕 Rapid Ratings rates over 14,000 public companies and thousands of private companies for its clients.〔Heires, Katherine. ("Unflinching on MF Global, Ratings Upstart Gains Following" ), ''Global Association of Risk Professionals'', London, April 2, 2012.〕
==History==
The framework for Rapid Ratings' Financial Health Rating technology was created in 1991 by economist Dr. Patrick Caragata in New Zealand. In 2007, the company was brought to New York City by James H. Gellert, CEO and chairman, and Douglas M. Cameron, president and director of rating operations.〔(History ), ''(Rapid Ratings )''〕
Rapid Ratings gained recognition in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, as traditional rating agencies were criticized for conflicts of interest inherent in their issuer-paid models and qualitative ratings.〔("James Gellert of Rapid Ratings International Discusses MF Global & Credit Ratings Regulation" ), ''(MarketsWiki )''〕 Alternatively, Rapid Ratings is paid by subscribers to its service, with no contact in the rating process with the companies it rates.〔("The Collapse of MF Global" ), ''United States House Committee on Financial Services'', Washington, D.C., February 2, 2012.〕
It gained attention for detecting inefficiencies at MF Global, Enron, WorldCom, Parmalat, General Motors, Bear Stearns, Ford, US Steel, and Peregrine.〔Lehman, Richard. ("The Ratings Game" ), ''Forbes'', New York, August 15, 2005.〕〔("Reining in the Ratings Agencies" ), ''Fox Business Network'', New York, December 9, 2008.〕〔("Ratings Agencies Under Review for Downgrade" ), ''The Wall Street Journal'', New York, December 1, 2008.〕〔Gellert, James H. ("Comment for General CFTC Public Roundtable Discussion on Additional Customer Protections" ), ''Commodity Futures Trading Commission'', Washington, D.C., August 8, 2012.〕 All of these companies had ratings well below investment grade for years before traditional agencies downgraded them.〔Bhattacharyya, Ronit. ("Former S&P President Joins Rapid Ratings" ), ''(Integrity Research Associates )'', New York, January 16, 2009.〕
