Credit Analyst – Financial Institutions

The Fitch Ratings Financial Institutions (FI) Group has actively built the agency into the global leader in bank credit rating coverage. Our experienced analysts provide comprehensive, timely and transparent coverage of every major institution around the world, as well as unparalleled coverage of smaller companies. In addition to its extensive banks portfolio, the Financial Institutions Group also covers a growing number of Non-bank FIs, including asset managers, interbroker dealers and leasing companies, among other segments. Our analysts offer a diversity of talent and backgrounds, with experience in regulatory oversight, investment banking, buy-side investing, accounting and more.

The FI Group's rating process utilizes a set of rating scales that are unique to Fitch Ratings. The Viability Rating, which expresses Fitch Ratings' view of a bank's stand-alone credit profile, is combined with the Support Rating to arrive at the more traditionally recognized rating from the AAA scale that is assigned to the issuer and its debt issues. Fitch Ratings' Support Rating provides important insight relative to the likelihood and nature of external support should the financial institution experience financial difficulties. Ratings guidelines are applied to long and short-term foreign currency ratings; long and short-term local currency ratings; and National ratings for emerging markets (non-comparable across borders).

Quantitative aspects of a bank's strengths and weaknesses are reviewed, such as balance sheet integrity, profitability, and risk management. The analysts also evaluate qualitative factors of the institution, such as strategy and quality of management, the environment in which it operates, and the most likely future development of its business. Final rating determinations are made by committees comprised of the analytical team for each entity and seasoned independent committee members, including Fitch Ratings senior management.
