Testimonials

Dan Scotto has been indoctrinated into Beta Gamma Sigma by Pace University as the 2008 Honoree for exemplifying the ideals of Beta Gamma Sigma.  Beta Gamma Sigma is an honor society for business professionals and scholars.  His message was simple, “The highest quality Individuals should strive for is that “professionals should have the strength of integrity and loyalty in order to be worthy of the confidence others entrust in them.”  (May 14, 2008)

 

From The Fast Company, Enron--

  • “In August 2001, two weeks after Jeff Skilling quit, Daniel Scotto ... issued a report lowering his rating on the energy company.  In his report titled 'Enron: All Stressed Up and No Place To Go' Scotto wrote "for investors looking for performance, Enron may not be the ideal choice” ... from The Fast Company

According to Institutional Investor—

  • For 9 consecutive years Dan Scotto was named the Top Bond Analyst in the United States as measured by Institutional Investor.  An achievement that no other analyst has surpassed.

 

  • "Labeled the icon of fixed income electric utilities... his macro-economic analysis is more insightful than other analysts”

 

  • “He’s practically an institution…”

 

  • “Investors are grateful to Scotto for consistently steering them clear of regions where the movement to disaggregate is well advanced…”

 

  • "Being on top of every trend put him a cut above everyone else.”

 

  • "...on the way. Scotto began lowering his credit rating – beating rating agencies to the punch by several months” ... “grateful clients recall that he issues a number of outright sells….”

 

  • “Few investors agreed with DLJ’s Daniel Scotto... but those who didn’t listen were sorry...”

 

  • “Is Daniel Scotto ever wrong?  The answer seems to be no... Scotto’s ability to spot distressed issues that are improving and close to rating upgrade is uncanny,” Marty Linsky, Harvard Business School.

 

  • “In a sector with full values… Scotto had five of six buys upgraded and improved prices ... and his five sells all downgraded”

 

  • “Clients haven’t been disappointed with Scotto’s advice.”

 

  • “Adherents are impressed by Scotto’s top-down approach ... he helps clients understand why utilities are making new highs in key measures of financial strength and not improving their credit ratings.”
