Standard & Poors - отзывы сотрудников и клиентов

Standard & Poor's traces its origins to the publication, in 1860, of Henry Varnum Poor's History of Railroads and Canals in the United States, a precursor of modern stock reporting and analysis.

Since that time, Standard & Poor's has continued to deliver on its mission to support "the investor's right to know," providing credit ratings, indices, investment research, risk evaluation and data.
