## Questions

### How does Moody's source proprietary data?

Moody's draws on public filings, issuer disclosures, and a proprietary analytics platform. The firm's June 2023 acquisition of Dun & Bradstreet's data analytics business added private-company financial data that is not available in public filings (per the firm, June 2023).

### What investment stages does Moody's typically target?

This question does not apply to Moody's. The firm does not invest capital — it rates debt at all stages, from sovereign bonds to startup debt, but does not deploy its own balance sheet into external assets.

### Which sectors does Moody's explicitly avoid?

Moody's does not avoid any sector by mandate. The firm rates issuers across all sectors — sovereign, financial, corporate, structured finance, infrastructure — wherever debt securities are issued. However, it does not rate unrated private companies or assets without a market debt offering.
