REPAYMENT GRADINGS
Think of Smith’s Gradings as providing you with a bridge to safety based on the absolute high water mark rather than, say, the median water level over the past three years.
RECOVERY GRADINGS
In the event of an interruption to payment, look to see if your investment might provide you with a cushion if it falls from grace.
EVENT RISK GRADINGS
Smith’s Event Risk Gradings track events as slow moving as a drought or as fast moving as a terrorist attack.
