DBRS Publishes Updated Financial Institutions Methodology

DBRS has today published an updated financial institutions methodology entitled “Rating Companies in the Asset Management Industry.”

This methodology supersedes the existing methodology published in January 2014. It includes a new business risk rating (BRR) factor called Risk Profile as well as adjustments to certain financial risk rating (FRR) metrics, among other things. While DBRS has deemed the changes to be material, no ratings will change as a result of this update.

DBRS's rating definitions and the terms of use of such ratings are available at www.dbrs.com.
