Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Credit Ratings
We rely on the short-term and long-term debt capital
markets to fund a significant portion of our day-to-day
operations and the cost and availability of debt financing is
influenced by our credit ratings. Credit ratings are also
important when we are competing in certain markets, such
as OTC derivatives, and when we seek to engage in longer-
term transactions. See “Certain Risk Factors That
May Affect Our Businesses” below and “Risk Factors” in
Part I, Item 1A of the 2013 Form 10-K for a discussion of
the risks associated with a reduction in our credit ratings.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, as part of a reassessment
of its government support assumptions related to the eight
largest U.S. bank holding companies, Moody’s Investors
Service (Moody’s) lowered Group Inc.’s ratings on long-
term debt (from A3 to Baa1) and subordinated debt (from
Baa1 to Baa2). The table below presents the unsecured
credit ratings and outlook of Group Inc.
