To be the rating agency that Asia can trust

The FV Open Ratings framework takes into account the characteristics of different types of markets, for example distinguishing mature countries and regions from developing ones, which can well reflect the uniqueness of these different types of markets.

To provide the most transparent rating that markets can trust

Compared with traditional rating agencies that rely more on analysts’ subjective judgments, the FV Open Ratings framework pays more attention to objective quantitative models. As a result, the rating framework is driven by objective information, increasing stability, transparency, and impartiality as well as providing faster responses to market changes.

To deploy state of art technology and drive traditional rating methodology forward

The FV Open Ratings framework employs an effective quantitative model which incorporates the maximum range of relevant risk factors into its rating analysis.

CORE ADVANTAGES

In line with the mature development of financial technology, we have adopted intelligent and automated systems. Through a professional hierarchical evaluation framework model, coupled with comprehensive market data, experts from different regions participate in the review to achieve more accurate and cost-effective rating results.

The purpose is to provide services such as pre-rating, corporate monitoring, and risk / default warning for companies, investors, institutional investors, and markets, and to provide subscription users with reasonable prices to achieve a wider usage, as well as to change the service orientation from one led by bond issuers to an investor-led rating business.

Never forget the original intention of the first rating nearly a hundred years ago, to build a “risk moat” for investors, and to bring rating into the inclusive financing market to truly achieve the goal of "inclusive economy, inclusive financing".
