DBRS Publishes Updated Rating Income Funds Methodology

DBRS has today published an updated Rating Income Funds methodology. The updated methodology replaces the previous version, published in March 2010, and examines all factors that go into rating an income fund, including operating characteristics, asset quality, financial profile, diversification, size and market position, sponsorship/governance and growth, amongst others.

No material changes were made to the methodology with regard to the application of this rating technique and no rating actions shall be taken on any outstanding ratings.

DBRS criteria and methodologies are publicly available on its website www.dbrs.com under Methodologies.
