Broad and Deep Analytical Coverage

S&P Global Ratings’ credit ratings are opinions about credit risk; they express our view on the relative likelihood that debt issued by companies and governments will be repaid on time and in full. These ratings reflect in-depth analysis of the issuers and their debt obligations.

Globally, S&P Global Ratings rated more than $3.4 trillion in new debt par-value in 2018Data as of 12/31/2018

S&P Global Ratings Thought Leadership Spanning the world’s major markets, S&P Global Ratings’ experienced team of analysts and economists provide timely insights on key issues that matter to investors and other market participants. In the past year, we have delivered compelling research and forward-looking credit-related stories on topics such as the credit cycle, leveraged finance, the U.S.-China trade dispute, Brexit, China, fintech, cybersecurity, and sustainable finance.

Across 2018, the “When The Cycle Turns” series of research examined the impact that a potential credit-cycle downturn — involving deteriorating economic and credit fundamentals, with rising defaults and scarce liquidity — may have on ratings and market conditions. Our “Global Trade at a Crossroads” series provided periodic updates of our views on the significant risks and opportunities facing investors and issuers from the ongoing trade dispute between the U.S. and China.

With the growth of the green finance market continuing unabated, S&P Global Ratings stepped up its capabilities in the areas of environmental and climate finance research. In 2018, we established a cross-practice Sustainable Finance analytical team to work alongside our new Green Evaluation service to measure climate risk and environmental impact. In 2019, we launched our new ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Evaluation framework to assess sustainability risks at the corporate level.

S&P Global (China) Ratings Enters China’s Domestic Bond Market

S&P Global (China) Ratings is authorized to rate issuers and issuances from:

Corporates

Financial institutions

Structured finance

Panda bonds

China’s long-term strategic plan includes developing the country’s capital markets and attracting foreign investors. To support this, the government opened its financial sector to international credit rating agencies. Previously foreign companies were only permitted to take a noncontrolling minority stake in a domestic Chinese credit rating agency.

After studying this significant market opportunity and meeting with issuers, investors, and regulators, S&P Ratings (China) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of S&P Global, applied for a license to operate as a credit rating agency. In January 2019, that application was granted and S&P Ratings (China) Co., Ltd. became the first wholly foreign-owned credit rating agency licensed to operate domestically in China. The new rating agency operates in China under the brand name S&P Global (China) Ratings and 标普信评.

Headquartered in Beijing, S&P Global (China) Ratings will employ its own ratings’ standards, criteria, and methodology, with compliance and control standards derived from those of S&P Global Ratings. S&P Global (China) Ratings began its new operation with its first chief executive officer and more than 40 ratings employees. It is also working with S&P Global Market Intelligence to meet the needs of fixed income investors interested in China.

S&P Global (China) Ratings has adopted a national scale rating in recognition of the size and diversity of China’s domestic capital markets, applying a methodology relevant to those markets.

China’s bond market is one of the largest in the world

Approximately 11% of financing in China is through bond financing

Foreign investors currently own 2% of China’s onshore bond market

China’s Domestic and Offshore Bond MarketsChina’s offshore bond market: S&P Global Ratings currently rates offshore bonds for more than 400 companies in China, including issuances in Renminbi and other major currencies. S&P Global (China) Ratings will work with these same issuers towards rating their domestic Chinese debt.

China’s domestic onshore bond market is one of the largest bond markets in the world. S&P Global (China) Ratings’ entry represents a significant opportunity given high demand for more transparency and greater granularity around credit risk in the Chinese market. S&P Global views this as a longer-term initiative as China’s debt market develops over the next three to five years.

Sustainable Finance: Entity-Level ESG Evaluation

The Preparedness Assessment

Evaluates the entity’s capacity to anticipate and adapt to a variety of long-term plausible disruptions.

Final ESG Score

Provides a relative overall ESG Score which allows comparison with other entities globally, including sector peers.

S&P Global Ratings ESG EvaluationS&P Global Ratings launched ESG Evaluation in April 2019 based on extensive and direct client engagement to develop a product that meets needs of issuers, investors, and intermediaries. ESG Evaluation is for companies looking to help their investors gain a better understanding of company strategy, purpose, and management quality. The forward-looking ESG Evaluation is a cross-sector, relative analysis—at the entity level—of a company’s ability to operate successfully now and in the future.

S&P Global Ratings’ team of analysts are knowledgeable in the entity’s business and industry and utilize public and private data, as well as from Trucost, for their analysis. The analysis is grounded in how ESG factors could affect stakeholders and potentially lead to a material direct or indirect financial impact on the entity. The final output is a fact-based reflection of the entity’s sustainability efforts.

The ESG Evaluation combines quantitative and qualitative analysis and considers both the near-term and longer-term ESG risks and risk mitigants for the subject company/entity

How S&P Global Ratings’ credit ratings performThe charts to the right show the default rates experienced for each rating category.

For example: The five-year cumulative default rate for corporate issuers rated AAA has been 0.35%, or fewer than four defaults for every 1,000 ratings.

The five-year cumulative default rate for AAA-rated structured finance issues has been 3.69%.

S&P Global Ratings’ data shows that lower-rated issuers and securities have generally exhibited higher default rates

S&P Global Ratings’ Track Record: Standing the Test of Time

What are credit ratings?Credit ratings express an opinion about the ability and willingness of an issuer to meet its financial obligations in full and on time. They also speak to the credit quality of an individual debt issue and the relative likelihood that the debt issue may default.

Corporations or governments often raise funds for projects—such as the construction of a factory, school, or highway or a green energy project—by issuing debt securities like bonds. Our credit ratings can help them communicate their creditworthiness—or the risk of investing in these securities— potentially expanding their universe of investors.

S&P Global Ratings’ Loan & Recovery Ratings

Ratings DiversificationCredit risk assessment, pricing, and structuring for syndicated loans

S&P Global Ratings’ loan ratings are widely used in the loan market for credit risk assessment, pricing, and structuring of syndicated loans. A loan rating is the issue-specific rating assigned to a borrower’s syndicated loan. These ratings give the market an important recovery assessment that helps to improve the distribution of syndicated loan new-issuance.

Recovery ratings are used in a variety of ways in the collateralized loan obligation (CLO) market. They are an integral input into S&P Global Ratings’ CLO analysis and ratings. CLO asset managers use recovery ratings as a key consideration in trading decisions as it relates to their portfolio parameters. CLO investors use recovery ratings to monitor the overall expected recovery of their portfolio of leveraged loans.

S&P Global Ratings has assigned ratings on syndicated loans since 1996 across different sectors and borrower types, including investment-grade, speculative-grade, infrastructure, and project-finance loans. S&P Global Ratings currently rates syndicated loans of more than 2,100 borrowers totaling close to $32 trillion.

Loan Ratings Process In the loan ratings process, S&P Global Ratings reviews revolving lines of credit, first-lien term loans, second-lien term loans, and other subordinated debt. Leveraged loan ratings are accompanied by a full recovery rating analysis based on S&P Global Ratings’ ratings scale and methodology.

The table below illustrates how a recovery rating is used to adjust the Issuer Credit Rating, the anchor rating in the loan process, for an issuer with a speculative-grade issuer credit rating.
