Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Investment / Securities / I'm a student needing to translate the following for an assignment | | Spanish term or phrase: calificadoras de riesgo | Adicionalmente, si los valores son seguidos o monitoreados por analistas, calificadoras de riesgo o puestos de bolsa, pues estos corresponden a una importante fuente de información periódica.
I believe "puestos de bolsa" are brokers/brokerage and I'm leaning toward "advisors" for this term, but I really don't know and need some help. Thanks. |

| | rating agencies | Explanation:
The feminine "calificadoras" indicates that these are companies or agencies rather than persons. Rating agencies are commonly called "Agencias de calificación de riesgos" in Spanish (also, as Mike says, "calificadoras de valores"), and I think this is what it's referring to.
"Las agencias de calificación de riesgos, agencias de clasificación de créditos o agencias de rating son empresas que, por cuenta de un cliente, califican unos determinados productos financieros o activos ya sean de empresas, estados o gobiernos regionales [...]
Sus notas o calificaciones valoran el riesgo de impago y el deterioro de la solvencia del emisor."

| Grading comment Thank you for pointing out the gender of "calificadoras" as referring to agencies vs persons. That has helped me on translating the rest of the sentence as well. Thanks.
