SQM sheds light on Shield, First Guardian ratings
Financial Standard
|August 11, 2025
SQM Research is facing scrutiny over its questionable ratings of the defunct Shield Master Fund and First Guardian schemes.
SQM Research managing director Louis Christopher released a statement in response, explaining the assigned ratings.
Christopher claimed some media coverage has not been presented with "full or accurate context," saying that although its initial ratings for both funds reflected an "investment grade" classification - considered "favourable" - they were at the "lower end" of the scale.
