With operations in more than 20 countries, the business provides the investment community with information on such financial vehicles as stocks, mutual funds, corporate bonds, and municipal bonds. In addition to its credit ratings, risk management, investment research, data, and valuations, Standard & Poor's is known for its indexes, including the S&P 500 index. The company's roots reach back to 1860; S&P was acquired by McGraw-Hill just over a century later.
