Fitch Solutions is pleased to announce that FactSet, a leading
provider of financial information and analytics, has integrated
Fitch's credit ratings data across its suite of solutions. This
will give investment professionals further insights into the
direction of credit risk and allow them to conduct ratings exposure
analysis of their portfolios.

global coverage, including Sovereigns, Public Finance, Corporate
Finance, Financial Institutions and Structured Finance. The credit
ratings will appear on FactSet's Workstation.
