ARC Ratings differentiates itself by applying a multi-perspective, local expertise and network-based approach to the business of assigning credit ratings.
The application of this new approach is based on the pooling of resources, specialised skills-sets and cultural diversity of ARC Ratings and its founding domestic credit rating agencies, translated into a balanced partnership - Our ARC of Partners. This Arc of Partners works as a network that, together with robust governance rules, optimises ARC Ratings' quality of ratings.
