Credit Rating
An agency opinion on a borrower’s ability to meet its obligations, published by Moody’s, S&P Global and Fitch on scales that run from Aaa/AAA down to default. The investment-grade boundary sits at Baa3/BBB−, and it matters far beyond one notch of spread: many institutional mandates cannot hold sub-investment-grade paper at all, so crossing it changes who is allowed to lend to you.
