Fitch Ratings is basically one of the Big Three MVPs in the vibe check industry, no cap. 😎

John Knowles Fitch kick-started Fitch Ratings back in 1913 with some straight fire financial stats in his "The Fitch Stock and Bond Manual." In 1924, these guys were like, "Hey, let's create the 'AAA' to 'D' rating scale," and now it's all the rage in the scene. 💯

These days, Fitch Ratings is serving major feels from its HQs in NYC and London, plus they got 51 offices flexing worldwide. 🌍
