Risk Rating Scale Development

Overview
When your organization requires refinements to the existing ratings, Standard & Poor’s Risk Solutions can offer you expertise in the development of a risk rating scale that reflects the total range of default risk or LGD in your portfolios. We can design a risk rating scale that optimizes the number of grades within the portfolio to ensure that the default risk is differentiated, and is appropriate to your organization’s business.

The benefits to your organization:
Enhanced credit risk analysis for loan origination, surveillance, and securitization;
Improved credit methodologies, which can lead to improved profitability; and
Third-party evaluation of your institution's credit methodologies, which can improve transparency for management, board of directors, regulators, and shareholders.
