Risk Qualifiers
| | Risk | Description |
| Average Risk | Risk represented by the stock is in line with its peer group* in
terms of volatility, liquidity and earnings predictability |
| Above Average Risk | Risk represented by the stock is greater than that of its peer
group* in terms of volatility, liquidity and earnings predictability |
| Speculative | High degree of risk represented by the stock, marked by an
exceptionally low level of predictability |
* Peer group refers to all
of the companies that an analyst has under coverage and does not necessarily
correspond to what would typically be considered an industry group. Where an
analyst’s coverage universe is such that ‘relative’ performance against a ‘peer
group’ is not meaningful, the analyst will benchmark the rating against the
most appropriate market index
