Global credit rating agency Moody's Ratings has assigned an "A-bf" rating to the Hill Lights International Limited bond fund, which is responsible for issuing OpenEden's tokenized US Treasury bonds, the TBILL tokens.
The "A-bf" rating is a high credit rating, indicating that the bond fund is seen as having a strong ability to achieve its financial goals. A more advanced rating would be the classic triple A (AAA) rating. Moody's is considered one of the top three credit rating agencies in the world, alongside Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings.
The fund invests primarily in US Treasury bills, or government securities. They are considered a safe investment because they are backed by the US government.
