Rating

A Rating is only as good as its inner structure.

In the course of their decade-long collaboration with financers the UMR has developed a clear concept for the rating of objects and has backed it up with science-based experience values.Our analysis highlights the strengths and weaknesses of target objects and provides borrowers with a chance for optimization. The table below illustrates the breakdown of environmental credit risks. It is obvious that environmental factors reach far into the economic success factors.Our focus lies on the credit risk, because we want the bank to receive the final rate and not a guarantee for realisation.
