This creditrisk is measured by the credit quality ratings <strong>of</strong>investments in debt securities as described by nationallyrecognized statistical rating organizations (rating agencies)such as Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s. Theconcentration <strong>of</strong> credit risk is the risk <strong>of</strong> loss that mayoccur due to the amount <strong>of</strong> investments in a single issuer(not including investments issued or guaranteed by theU.S. government, investments in mutual funds, or externalinvestment pools).State TreasuryState statutes and investment policies limit the StateTreasury investments to government securities with explicitguarantees by the U.S. government, agency securities withimplicit U.S. government guarantees, and corporatesecurities with investment grade ratings by Moody’s andS&P.
