Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. -- Moody's changes outlook on Waddell & Reed Financial's Baa2 issuer rating to negative
New York, November 13, 2015 -- Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the Baa2 issuer rating of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. (Waddell & Reed) and changed the outlook to negative from stable. The change in outlook is driven by a combination of factors including net outflows over the last several quarters resulting from underperformance in Waddell & Reed's flagship fund and a pending regulatory change, which could put pressure on the company's business model.
