FEATURES
The MQ assessment incorporates Moody's analysis of the investment management activities and other management characteristics including, as applicable, the performance of its product offerings, its financial profile and client servicing performance
Unlike Moody's credit ratings, a Moody's MQ assessment does not indicate a company's ability to repay a fixed-financial obligation, or satisfy contractual financial obligations either in its own right or any that may have been entered into through actively managed portfolios
Typical uses

For Managed Investments

Analytical Coverage
For rated organizations, typically the lead analyst will conduct the RAS analysis
For unrated organizations, a lead analyst will be determined based on sector experience and analytical availability
RAS outcomes are determined by a RAS committee

Note: The MQ assessment is not intended to consider the prospective performance of a portfolio, mutual fund or other investment vehicle with respect to appreciation, volatility of net asset value, or yield.
