Company Snapshot

Fitch Ratings is a leading global rating agency. We provide the world's markets with independent, timely and prospective credit opinions and analysis.

Founded in 1913, Fitch introduced the now familiar "AAA" to "D" ratings scale to meet the growing demand for independent analysis of financial securities. The Fitch ratings scale, coupled with in-depth analysis by a staff of investment experts, quickly became recognized as the benchmark by which the financial community based fixed-income investment decisions.

Fitch Ratings has grown rapidly during the past decade gaining market presence throughout the world and across all fixed income markets. We now have dual-headquarters in New York and London, operating offices and joint ventures in 49 locations and covering entities in more than 100 countries.
