#Credit Rating

Investment grade is the mythic rank assigned by credit agencies to quantify investors’ craving for safety. It appears in a sacred scroll from AAA to BBB-, shackling capital with an illusion of restraint. While it offers no true guarantee against loss, it tacks on an ‘insurance premium’ by promising a safe haven. As one of the most worshipped titles on the market’s altar, the threat of downgrade strikes investors’ hearts like thunder.
