Speculative Grade
Speculative Grade refers to a category of credit rating that indicates a higher risk of default, making the debt securities less suitable for conservative investors. These ratings are assigned by credit rating agencies and generally include ratings below BBB on the Standard & Poor's and Fitch scales, and below Baa3 on the Moody's scale.
