The policy for using EBUS ratings at PHEI is as follows:
|
1. |
PHEI does not have the authority to determine the quality of the rating results issued by each Securities Rating Agency (LPE), so PHEI will use the rating results from each LPE equally, and has no preference in using the rating results from a particular LPE.
|
|
2. |
If an EBUS is rated by 2 (two) Securities rating agencies, then the rating used is the lowest rating issued between the two agencies.
For example, XYZ Bonds received ratings of A+ and AA-, then the rating that will be used as a basis for assessing the HPW EBUS is the lowest rating, namely A+.
|
|
3. |
If a securities is rated by more than 2 (two) Securities rating agencies, then the rating used is the most common rating or the middle rating issued by each of these agencies.
For example, XYZ Bonds received ratings of A+, A+, and AA-, then the rating that will be used as a basis for assessing HPW EBUS is the most common rating, namely A+. However, if the EBUS gets a rating of A+, AA-, and AA, then the rating that will be used as a basis for making an assessment is the rating in the middle, namely AA-.
