Definition and Examples
- Definition
- Investment Grade refers to a credit rating assigned to debt securities that are considered to have a relatively low risk of default. This classification indicates that the issuer of the security is likely to meet its payment obligations, making it suitable for more conservative investors. These ratings are assigned by credit rating agencies and generally include ratings from AAA to BBB on the Standard & Poor's and Fitch scales, and Aaa to Baa3 on the Moody's scale.
