notations d'investissement dégradées


Explanation:
Les sociétés dont les notations d'investissement sont dégradées représentent des propositions plus risquées.

Si t'es mal classé par les agences de notation, tu ne bénéficieras pas des taux de crédit intéressants, réservés aux seules boîtes qui sont sûres à long terme. (Au lieu de 5%, p. ex. tu n'auras que 5,5%, et si tu veux investir, la charge financière sera donc plus lourde).
