What is ARC Rating

ARC has been accorded the same mappings standards as the S&P, Fitch and Moody’s (“big 3”) CRAs by the European Commission therefore ARC’s ratings can be used for capital relief purposes under the standardised and ratings-based approach, as well as under Solvency II. Effectively all this means that an ARC rating should be regarded alongside the big 3. For further information on ESMA and to see ARC listed alongside the big 3, please view this link: https://www.esma.europa.eu. Furthermore, the chief analyst on this particular rating, Emma-Jane Fulcher, was a senior Director at Fitch for more than a decade.
