Investing in Communities
Hearst’s consumer and business-to-business divisions work both independently and collaboratively to mobilize resources and support local communities. From producing award-winning investigative journalism to providing public bonds ratings so hospitals and arts programs can expand their operations, Hearst understands the importance of bolstering the people and organizations that define communities.
Learn from colleagues on the Fitch Public Finance team George Edwards-Stimola, Madeline Tretout, Arlene Bohner and Eric Kim about how their ratings serve as a bridge between public entities and investors.
Fitch’s Public Bond Ratings
Fitch’s public finance ratings help governments and other public sector entities raise funds to build essential infrastructure. Fitch’s ratings serve as a bridge to investors, and a high Fitch rating results in lower borrowing costs.
