The following table explains the Credebt Exchange Equivalent Ratings used to grade ETR on the Exchange. Credebt Exchange Equivalent Ratings are updated on a regular basis and should be used as a reference only. Investors using Equivalent Ratings agree to be bound by the terms of the Master Agreement should understand how they are generated. Investors should also read the disclaimer below before considering Credebt Exchange Equivalent Ratings as part of your investment assessment.
Equivalent Ratings are simple and are not derived, or influenced in any way, by Credebt Exchange. In the case of any organisation with ratings from Moody’s, Fitch or Standard & Poor’s, Credebt Exchange selects the highest Equivalent Rating and presents it using the Credebt Exchange Equivalent Ratings table shown above. The following example demonstrates how the Credebt Exchange Equivalent Rating is generated:
These equivalent ratings are not a recommendation or opinion that is intended to substitute for a financial adviser’s or investor’s independent assessment of whether to bid or buy on Credebt Exchange. The Credebt Exchange equivalent rating is derived from public information about the relevant entity. This information and the Credebt Exchange Equivalent Ratings are not necessarily accurate and correct at the time of viewing the rating. The Credebt Exchange Equivalent Ratings are a reference source only and should be used in conjunction with other information in forming the basis for an investment decision. Credebt Exchange Equivalent Ratings are based on reliable data and information, but Credebt Exchange has not verified this or obtained an independent verification to this effect. Credebt Exchange provides no guarantee with respect to the accuracy or completeness of the data relied upon, nor the conclusions derived from the data. Each Credebt Exchange Equivalent Rating is a relative, probabilistic assessment of the credit risk of the relevant entity and its potential to meet financial obligations. It is not a statement that default will or will not occur given that circumstances change and management can adopt new strategies. Credebt Exchange Equivalent Ratings are provided to the subscribers to our service only and neither Credebt Exchange nor any of our employees accept any responsibility on any ground whatsoever, including liability in negligence, to any other person.
