Moody's and Standard & Poor's are the two major rating agencies that rate the risk of securities. It was Moody's as well as Standard & Poor's who rated many of the CDS as triple-A even though many of them contained as much as 95 percent of subprime loans, loans that had previously been given the lower triple-B rating.
