Average Fixed Income Rating

The Average Fixed Income Rating represents the creditworthiness of a company.

The Average Fixed Income Rating evaluates the average rating of all the fixed income positions you have in a portfolio. The average fixed income rating appears in the overview of the portfolio.

For each security, there is an attributed grade, which goes from D to AAA, as seen below:

'NR' => '8'
'D' => '2',
'C' => '3',
'CC' => '4',
'CCC-' => '5',
'CCC' => '6',
'CCC+' => '7',
'B-' => '8',
'B' => '9',
'B+' => '10',
'BB-' => '11',
'BB' => '12',
'BB+' => '13',
'BBB-' => '14',
'BBB' => '15',
'BBB+' => '16',
'A-' => '17',
'A' => '18',
'A+' => '19',
'AA-' => '20',
'AA' => '21',
'AA+' => '22',
'AAA' => '23'

How is the Average Fixed Income Rating calculated?

For each rating, there is an associated number, which is used in the calculus of the average.

The Average Fixed Income Rating calculus is as in the example below:

You have 40% of 'AA' securities, 30% of 'B' securities and 30% of 'CCC-'.
The Average Fixed Income Rating is:
40%*21 + 30%*9 + 30%*5 = 12.6
The rounding is upward as it is above 12.5. So the result is rounded to 13.
13 is the number associated with the note BB+.

In this example, the Average Fixed Income Rating is BB+.
