Standard Life rating upgrade

Standard Life has had its credit rating upgraded from A to A+ by rating agency Standard & Poors this week.

Such ratings are not infallible guides. For example, Enron's rating remained at investment grade four days before the company went bankrupt, despite the fact that credit rating agencies had been aware of the company's problems for months.

But nonetheless an upgrade is a positive endorsement and is welcome news.
