ABOUT AERIS RATINGS

AERIS Impact Ratings assess the pursuit and achievement of social mission as evidenced by programs and strategies, use of resources, and how impact is measured and informs the refinement of those programs and strategies. The AERIS methodology can be applied to any type of mission-driven entity or program.

AERIS Financial Ratings assess capitalization, asset quality, management, earnings, and liquidity—often referred to as a ‘CAMEL’ assessment. The AERIS methodology evaluates financial strength and risk in the context of the community finance sector, and does not use statistically-generated benchmarks due to the limited size of the sector, the wide variety of business models and operating environments.
