Mortgages and Loans by Credit Rating
The credit quality of mortgages and loans is evaluated internally through regular monitoring of credit-related exposures. We use
judgment and experience to determine what factors should be considered when assigning an internal credit rating, which is validated
through the use of credit scoring models, to a particular mortgage or corporate loan. The internal credit ratings reflect the credit quality
of the borrower as well as the value of any collateral held as security.
