DBRS is an independent, privately held, globally recognized credit ratings agency with offices in Toronto, New York, London, Chicago and Mexico City. We strive to differentiate ourselves from competitors through a more pragmatic rather than mechanistic approach, in-depth research and unequalled mandate execution.
Founded in 1976, we are a rapidly growing, international ratings agency with deep roots in Canada. Our four decades of experience and strong track record provide the foundation for us to seek out new opportunities and to make targeted investments that align with our core ratings operations.
Our approach and size as the world's fourth-largest ratings agency allow us to be nimble enough to respond to customers' needs, but large enough to provide the necessary expertise and resources they require. We build meaningful relations, which contribute to a convincing value proposition for investors and issuers to choose us a globally accepted alternative to other ratings agencies.
