Formatted abstract This thesis examines the performance of a portfolio of stocks formed on predicted changes in general issuer credit rating. The motivation for doing so stems from the large cumulative abnormal return documented prior to a change in credit rating. Altman and Rijken (2004) show that cumulative changes in estimated ordered logit credit ratings anticipate actual changes in credit rating. This thesis predicts changes in credit rating based on this anticipation, forms appropriate equity portfolios and monitors portfolio performance.
