Member Training: Obtaining Investment-Grade Ratings for Blended Finance Vehicles

__Tuesday, September 15, 2026, 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM__

Join Convergence for a virtual member training exploring how blended finance vehicles can achieve investment-grade credit ratings and what this means for attracting institutional capital.

As blended finance vehicles continue to mature, an increasing number of fund managers are pursuing external credit ratings to broaden their investor base and access larger pools of private capital. Achieving an investment-grade rating can enhance credibility, improve marketability, and unlock investment from institutional investors, but the process requires careful structuring and a clear understanding of rating agency methodologies.

This session will begin with a fireside chat featuring Moody's, providing insights into its analytical approach to assessing blended finance vehicles, recent developments in its rating methodology. The discussion will be followed by case study presentations from AgDevCo and ResponsAbility, offering practical lessons from organizations that have navigated the rating process.
