Assirt rerates BT

RESEARCH house ASSIRT has rerated a range of Bankers Trust products, granting 30 of the 40 assessed an investment grade rating of A or B.

All ASSIRT ratings on BT products have previously been suspended ‘on-hold’ due to uncertainties over BT’s change in ownership.

ASSIRT research manager Patrick Bennett said the new ratings took into account changes in BT since the last review in late 1998.
