Our rating methodologies are transparent, consistently applied, and publicly available. All current and historical methodology documents are listed below.
Our ratings are designed to serve investors. Our independence is structural: we are not owned by any issuer, bank, or financial conglomerate, and we do not sell consulting services to the companies we rate.
All methodologies are published and publicly available. We apply our criteria consistently across issuers and update our frameworks as markets evolve.
Our analysis emphasizes forward-looking factors, including our proprietary Ratings Change Anticipator (RCA), which helps identify rating migrations before they occur.
All Egan-Jones rating methodologies are listed below. Filter by type, status, or NRSRO designation.
Egan-Jones welcomes comments from market participants, investors, and issuers on our rating methodologies. All comments are reviewed by our analytical team and considered in future methodology updates.
Methodology comments are published here as a permanent public record after review and approval by Egan-Jones Compliance, consistent with Egan-Jones' commitment to transparency in its rating process.
