Contact your Client Success Manager or support@rapidratings.com to see if a segmentation of your supplier, vendor, or counterparty list would benefit your program needs. At the end of the process, you will be presented with the list, divided by:
- Publicly rated companies (added to your master portfolio if requested at the outset)
- Public companies with a direct (that is, one level above) public parent, with the option to immediately add them to your master portfolio
- Potential private ratings, to use as a base for determining RapidRatings and your outreach efforts to obtain private company financials
-
identification of any companies we do not rate
- Nonprofit/Government/Educational
- Ineligible Bank (Non-OECD)
- REIT/PE/Investment Funds
- New entities with less than 9 months trading history
|
To help ensure public ratings accuracy, RapidRatings considers the corporate hierarchy for the immediate level above. This practice better determines the exact target to rate, based on internal importance and the breadth of your relationship with different parts of an entity. Therefore, if a company has a public parent entity separated from it by more than 1 step of ownership, it is considered a private company. It is not advised to rely on a parent company’s rating for risk assessment when the parent is more than one degree removed. |
