Bond Rating – Business Listings Group

Bonds require a high-grade rating to indicate the quality of the security. There are several different private independent rating services such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch. Generally this is related to the ability to pay the coupons, principal, and interest in a timely fashion. In order to get an effective rating, the collateral required to make the bond needs to have a third-party valuation, financials, prospectus, etc. The rating has to do with the evaluations of a bond issuer’s financial strength.

Formally, bond experts will create bonds with a rating for insight to the investors as to the worthiness and investment grade of the security. Investors rely on these ratings as to the “marketability” and “liquidity” of the investment in comparison to unrated bonds which do not give indication of security and quality. Bonds are rated as letters ranging from ‘AAA’, which is the highest grade, to ‘C’ (“junk”), which is the lowest grade. Different rating services use the same letter grades, but use various combinations of upper- and lower-case letters to differentiate themselves.

The Bonds developed by our corporate bond advisors are considered High credit-quality investment Grade. Thus it implied liquidity and marketability of the security for the investors and business. Creating a bond is similar to listing a company on the stock exchange, accept instead of equity you are listing the debt of the company or debt which can finance the company or project.

The format of bonds created are all investment grade.

AAA and AA: High credit-quality investment grade
AA and BBB: Medium credit-quality investment grade

Any Bond with a lower rating is considered “Junk Bonds” such as the BB – C.

Junk bonds still have value from the perspective that “debt” supersedes equity in the roll-up of a firms assets and dissolving of companies. Therefore, bonds still carry value after the issuance even in the event of default.

If the bond rating is good, the company is strong enough to pay its obligations, which include expenses, payments on debts, and dividends. If a bond rating agency gives the company a high rating (or if it raises the rating), that’s a great sign for anyone holding the company’s debt or receiving dividends.
