CARE vets the assumptions made by the SC/ARC in arriving at valuation of SRs and modifies these wherever required. CARE arrives at Present Value of all cash flows from SRs till their maturity. CARE uses an indicative yield as the discounting rate for valuation of SRs. Once CARE arrives at an expected valuation, it assigns appropriate recovery rating (the ratings gives the range of recovery possible), which indicates the recovery expected from the underlying loan (and SRs), with respect to the face value of the SR, within a predefined band.
CARE considers the following criteria for arriving at the rating of SRs:
- Resolution strategy adopted by SC/ARC and its capability to implement the same
- Parameters related to non-performing account eg: reasons for delinquency
- Nature & composition of the assets
- Industry prospects and existing management
- Legal status
- Estimated time-frame for resolution
- Expected cash-flows
Methodology for rating pooled assets
At times, the SC/ARC bundle more than one small loan from different accounts into a portfolio and issue SRs common to the whole portfolio. At the time of valuation of SRs issued under such portfolios, valuation of all individual assets in the portfolio is required to be done. Based on these individual valuations, weighted average valuation of SRs is arrived at and the recovery rating of the SRs is determined accordingly.
Disclaimer
CARE’s recovery ratings are opinions on the estimated recovery and not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any security. CARE’s ratings do not convey suitability or price for the investor. CARE’s ratings do not constitute an audit on the rated entity. CARE has based its ratings on information obtained from sources believed by it to be accurate and reliable. CARE does not, however, guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any information and is not responsible for any errors or omissions or for the results obtained from the use of such information. Most entities whose security receipts are rated by CARE have paid a recovery rating fee, based on the amount of security receipts. CARE or its subsidiaries/associates may also have other commercial transactions with the entity. CARE is not responsible for any errors and states that it has no financial liability whatsoever to the users of CARE’s rating.
The rating process takes about two to three weeks, depending on the complexity of the assignment and the flow of information from the client. Ratings are assigned by the Rating Committee.
