惠譽-台北/香港/新加坡-2008年12月18日:惠譽國際信用評等公司今日確認亞東證券股份有限公司(亞東證)的評等如下:長期外幣發行人違約評等 (IDR) 為‘BBB-’,短期外幣IDR為‘F3’,國內長期評等為‘A(twn)’,國內短期評等為‘F1(twn)’,個別評等為‘C/D’,支援評等為‘5’;評等展望維持穩定。
亞東證的評等係基於其強健的資本水準以及充足的流動性。其評等亦考量該公司較缺乏分散性的業務範疇與波動性較大的獲利表現。由於股票和固定收益投資部位在市場高度波動下,市場風險仍高,亞東證的營運策略目標係持續維持充足的流動性與強健的資本水準。
受到台灣股市大幅下挫而產生自營交易損失的影響,亞東證2008年前九月的稅後淨損達新台幣11億元(為−10%的股東權益)。亞東證獲利表現為弱,主要反映該公司金額為高的股票曝險部位。然而,惠譽預期,即使在國內股市持續表現疲弱的情況下,亞東證仍可維持強健的財務體質。截至2008年第三季底,該公司的股東權益對總資產比以及資本適足率仍為強健的70%與732%。此外,亞東證有良好的流動性。該公司長期資金來源對流動性較差的資產比則持續維持在3倍以上。除了少量的附買回交易,該公司沒有流通在外的負債。
成立於1979年,亞東證以淨值排名為國內第15大證券公司。截至2008年第三季底,遠東集團共計擁有亞東證99%的股權。

Note to editors: Fitch’s National ratings provide a relative measure of creditworthiness for rated entities in countries with relatively low international sovereign ratings and where there is demand for such ratings. The best risk within a country is rated ‘AAA’ and other credits are rated only relative to this risk. National ratings are designed for use mainly by local investors in local markets and are signified by the addition of an identifier for the country concerned, such as ‘AAA(twn)’ for National ratings in Taiwan. Specific letter grades are not therefore internationally comparable.
Fitch's rating definitions and the terms of use of such ratings are available on the agency's public site, www.fitchratings.com. Published ratings, criteria and methodologies are available from this site, at all times. Fitch's code of conduct, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, affiliate firewall, compliance and other relevant policies and procedures are also available from the 'Code of Conduct' section of this site.
