Moody's Corporation (NYSE:MCO) today announced the creation of a
new analytical franchise within Moody’s Investors Service (MIS),
the rating agency, that will focus on delivering strategic insights
into the rapidly expanding private credit sector. Ana Arsov has
been named Global Head of Private Credit, and will lead
coordination of relevant research and rating initiatives across
MIS. Ms. Arsov will also co-head the global Financial Institutions
Group (FIG) along with Simon Harris.
The organizational updates reflect the growing importance of
private credit in capital markets and investor demand for Moody’s
research and ratings adjacent to the sector. The analytical
franchise will provide transparency into the complex private credit
markets and their interlinkages with broader capital markets.
“The rapid growth of the private credit market in recent years
has introduced new challenges and opportunities for investors, who
are looking for fresh analysis from a trusted source,” said Michael
West, President of Moody’s Investors Service. “Ana’s deep
experience with financial institutions will help establish a
holistic approach to assessing private credit across a variety of
sectors and asset classes.”
As part of her new role, Ms. Arsov will promote engagement
across MIS rating groups, including Financial Institutions,
Corporate Finance, and Structured Finance, and will deepen existing
analytical capabilities for business development companies, CLOs,
and other private credit-related assets. She will also provide
appropriate support to Moody’s Analytics, which offers relevant
customer solutions related to counterparty assessment and portfolio
risk.
In her capacity as co-head of FIG, Ms. Arsov will continue to
engage with a broad range of financial institutions including
global systemically important banks, capital markets
intermediaries, and non-bank financial services companies. Prior to
today’s announcement, Ms. Arsov was the global co-head of bank
ratings and held a number of senior management roles overseeing
ratings for banks, securities firms, specialty finance, and more.
She contributed to Moody’s rating methodologies for finance
companies, securities firms, and clearing houses, and led the
development of Moody’s counterparty risk rating.
MIS rates over $70 trillion of debt split between its four major
rating groups:
- Financial Institutions, co-headed by Ana Arsov and Simon
Harris
- Corporate Finance, headed by Myriam Durand
- Structured Finance, headed by Annabel Schaafsma
- Global Public, Project, and Infrastructure Finance, headed by
Anne Van Praagh
In alignment with the private credit analytical franchise, MIS
has created a commensurate private credit team within its
Relationship Management unit, which will be led by Tom Lazaridis.
Mr. Lazaridis has over 20 years of experience developing and
maintaining client relationships across the banking, asset
management, and insurance sectors. He will guide a team of private
credit experts to drive business development initiatives and
enhance brand perception while collaborating with other commercial
teams and groups within MIS.
