Morningstar seeks to be the bridge financial Blockchain

On previous occasions we have exposed how the traditional finance have begun to migrate to the Blockchain. As the World Bank with its platform to unite the world. On this occasion we bring to you a company that looks to be the connector between these two worlds, helping companies and enterprises. We refer to Morningstar Credit Rantings.

MCR is a subsidiary of Morningstar Inc. which is an institution that provides a variety of research services and investment management. Was Joe Mansueto, who founded Morningstar in 1984, whereas CFR appears from 2016. The division occurs because the parent company only works with projects and investments with a ranking of 5 stars. Therefore, MCR works with all the others. It is for this reason that MCR can bet by the small companies based on Blockchain, which it considers may impact in the future.

“We are working very closely with a number of companies oriented to the Blockchain looking to issue debt instruments in a chain of blocks”. Says the director of operations of Morningstar Credit Ratings, Michael Brawer, of 48 years, overseeing the internal strategy of the company. “We’re looking to see how we may also provide reviews of credit, either a credit rating or different types of data and credit analysis credit that accompany those instruments of debt, and we are also looking to provide our services in a chain of blocks”.

His career

Morningstar is working on two efforts designed to change the way in which the debt securities are rated on a chain of blocks. The first will be the system of Morningstar to qualify bonds directly in the chain of blocks Ethereum and, finally, in other chains of blocks, through the technology called Oracle. The Oracle we explain in our article “The most outstanding news of Chainlink today.” The second product, Blockchain is also for debt securities, but is that Morningstar put at the disposal of the rating models quantitative that is used internally in the Blockchain. Morningstar and other credit agencies use these models to determine the creditworthiness of debt securities. The inputs and outputs of the model could register in the chain of blocks to the public, making it easy for investors to test the quality of an investment on their own, but still for a fee. “The goal would be to, ultimately, allow investors in a security of debt digital to be able to run a model independent third party and see the results of that model in the chain of blocks,” says Brawer.
