Risk Rating Refinement

Overview
Standard & Poor’s Risk Rating Refinement helps your financial institution address fundamental challenges when developing robust risk rating systems. When your financial institution needs to produce separate obligor and facility ratings, we will design a dual rating system that offers you an appropriate level of granularity for that particular type of business.

The benefits to your organization:
Identifies the strengths and weaknesses of a risk rating system;
Ensures that your institution's risk rating systems are accurate and represents the industry best practices;
Mapping improves external transparency by benchmarking your institution's portfolio to a well-known and accepted rating scale; and
Mapping supports the use of Standard & Poor's ratings default and ratings transition data to supplement a lack of internal data.
