Sector Credit Factors
Sector Credit Factors reports show how Fitch's Corporate Rating Methodology is applied to corporate sub sectors.
In addition to links to the reports themselves on the left, this page gives you access a report explaining how to interpret the SCFs, and compendium documents which illustrate how they are applied to issuers in a sector.
SCFs are designed to mirror the thought process involved in arriving at a rating. Firstly, a broad rating range for a given sector is defined; then the rating is refined by looking at company specific risk factors; then financials; and finally ‘other’ factors, such as country ceiling.
