According to our financial institution (“FI”) rating criteria, we typically determine the stand-alone credit profile (“SACP”) based on our assessment of an institution’s anchor, a starting point, and then incorporating its own characteristics compared with the anchor. The entity-specific factors that we may use to adjust from the anchor include business position, capital & earnings, risk position, and funding & liquidity. We then determine the issuer credit ratings (“ICR”) based on the SACP and our assessment of potential group or government influence in time of stress.
