derived primarily from the 'AA+' financial strength ratings on its primary Canadian and U.S. insurance operating subsidiaries, as well as the Canadian scale preferred stock rating of 'P-1(Low)' on the company. The ratings on these insurance companies reflect their very strong operating performance, business profile, and consolidated capital strength. Partially offsetting these strengths are the strong competitive pressures that Sun Life Financial faces in its primary markets; the susceptibility of its wealth management businesses to earnings volatility given the uncertainties associated with the equity markets and interest rates; the impact of the devaluated U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar, which is Sun Life Financial's reporting currency; and economic and political risk associated</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry
