LACE Achieves NRSRO Status - The SEC has approved LACE Financial’s (LACE) application to be a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO).  The SEC registered LACE to rate financial institutions including insurance companies, corporate companies, asset-backed securities (CDO’s), foreign countries, and municipal governments.   As such, LACE is seeking highly experienced individuals to head subsidiaries to rate municipal governments, insurance companies, and structured financial products, such as asset backed securities.   This NRSRO designation provides LACE with various rating opportunities and we look forward to working with the SEC to provide a higher level of confidence as well as rating alternatives for investors.
