Event Information

Join KBRA on February 11, as we walk through recent updates to our Investment Fund Debt Global Rating Methodology. Tune in to hear our sector experts discuss how these changes impact the rating of debt issued by investment funds or secured by investment fund assets.

The update includes the addition of two appendices to enhance transparency regarding the application of the methodology. Appendix A explains how KBRA uses guideline quantitative determinant weightings to facilitate ratings consistency across similar fund debt transactions. Appendix B illustrates how KBRA applies its rating methodology to a hypothetical feeder fund that issues debt and equity to invest in a direct lending master fund. The update also includes a proposed change to increase the weighting of the cash flow determinant typically used when rating notes issued by feeder funds into direct lending funds.

Join KBRA Financial Intelligence (KFI) on Tuesday, January 27 for our first quarter webinar: Banking and Monetary Policy 2026: Analyzing Data Trends Amid the Fed’s Leadership Transition. Three consecutive rate cuts by the Federal Reserve throughout the end of 2025 have fueled expectations for more easing in the new year, but policymaker projections suggest a more measured path may lie ahead. However, the composition of the Fed’s rate-setting committee is set for a powerful shakeup at the hands of a vocally dovish White House, which will likely flow downstream to the evolution of the central bank’s 2026 economic projections, its regulatory outlook, and final decisions on policy. A regime of ongoing rate cuts has helped to steepen the yield curve as loan growth among U.S. banks continues to strengthen, reversing previous compression on net interest margins. KBRA Financial Intelligence (KFI) will discuss the implications of these developments for credit availability, equity valuations, bank employment, and more in our latest webinar.

Discussion Topics

• How relevant are Fed economic projections from December FOMC with emergence of new and evolving macro and banking data?

• The Impact of Central Bank structure on banking regulation

• Increasing influence of a vocally dovish white house on monetary policy and its impact on bank lending and securities data
