UDC Finance has had its Standard and Poor's credit rating increased from an AA- to AA.

The AA credit rating is the highest of any New Zealand finance company accepting money from investors. S&P says it reflects the company�s material position within ANZ National, its strong brand and market profile, and good depth of senior management team.

�It�s a great result for us and our investors, as it acknowledges that we�re in a very strong position as we drive forward with a number of improvements to our business,� UDC General Manager Malcolm Tilbrook says.

Standard & Poor�s credit ratings are based on a comprehensive independent assessment of a company taking into account both business and financial risks. Ratings of BB and below are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics.

�A strong credit rating is a very good indicator of the certainty of your investment,� Tilbrook said.
