Credit Opinion

Factors that could lead to an upgrade

(1) the company successfully implements its de-risking strategy, establishes a track record of managing the growth of its fixed-income operations and improves quality and stability of its earnings, or 
(2) the firm raises new capital to strengthen its loss absorption buffer, for example, leverage ratio falling to below 1.3x on a consistent basis

Factors that could lead to a downgrade

(1) its higher-risk assets increase further, or the credit quality of its bond holdings worsens, leading to a higher risk of balance sheet losses and a significant deterioration of the firm's capital level; or
(2) its core profitability worsens significantly; or
(3) the firm becomes increasingly vulnerable to liquidity risks

Strengths

(1) below-peer leverage, supported by good access to new capital
(2) diversified income structure, backed by strong nationwide retail and institutional customer networks
(3) diversified funding structure and significant liquid asset buffer

Challenges

(1) higher-than-peer exposure to higher-risk assets
