An improved credit rating allows a company to receive better interest rates when borrowing money.S&P raised the rating after discussing with AIG its strategy and integration plans for 21st Century Insurance Group. 21st Century Insurance Group is effectively becoming a unit of AIG's personal insurance business and the rating reflects AIG's credit ratings, S&P credit analyst Steven Ader said in a statement.Shares of 21st Century Insurance Group rose 7 cents to $16.16 in morning trading.Copyright 2007 Associated Press.
