| Aaa |
|
|
Bonds and preferred stock which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality, They carry the smallest
degree of investment risk and are generally referred as "gilt edged". Interest payments are protected by a
large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements
are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong
position of such issues.
|
|
| Aa |
|
|
Bonds and preferred stock, which are rated Aa, are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the
Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds
because margins of protection may not be as large in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of
greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long-term risk appear somewhat larger than
Aaa securities.

|
| A |
|
|
Bonds and preferred stock, which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as
upper-medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate, but elements
may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future.
