Teams at Morningstar


Morningstar DBRS is one of the four largest credit rating agencies globally, providing independent credit ratings and research across a broad range of industries and asset classes. Morningstar DBRS is committed to consistency and transparency within the credit rating process. From our office at 140 Broadway in Manhattan's Financial District, analysts cover areas such as Structured Finance, Corporate Finance, Financial Institutions, and Project & Infrastructure Finance. Analysts are trusted to form views and defend them based on sufficient, relevant information using approved methodologies. Independence from actual or perceived conflicts of interest is central to how the work gets done.

Software engineers at Morningstar build and maintain the applications that power the firm's work, and they do it in a culture built on independent thinking, evidence-based decisions, and continuous learning. Engineers are trusted to bring their own perspective and judgment to how the work gets done. That's not incidental to the culture here; it's central to it.

Product managers at Morningstar sit at the center of decisions that shape what gets built, and how it works. In Chicago, product managers work across areas including Credit Ratings; Data, Analytics & Research; Indexes; Investment Management & Services; and Corporate. Product managers are trusted to define what problems are worth solving and bring their own judgement to every stage of the process.

Research at Morningstar spans markets, asset classes, and disciplines, all connected by the same purpose: give investors what they need to make confident decisions. Our independent research covers equities, managed investments, fixed income, alternatives, private markets, ESG and climate, and credit ratings. Analysts bring their own judgment to complex questions, and that independence is central to how the work gets done.
