The financial group reported a 57% decrease in net income to $489 million or 81 cents a share from $1.15 billion or $1.96 a share in the prior year on weaker revenue and dislocations in the credit markets. It maintained strong liquidity position, with the Holding Company having a liquidity pool of $34 billion and unencumbered assets of $64 billion, with an additional $99 billion at the regulated entities. Moody’s reaffirmed the A1 credit rating on the strength of the capital base and liquidity.

 
Erin Callan: At this point we like the headcount against the opportunity set but it is really hard to judge and we are just going to stay on it, monitor it, see where the business opportunities are and how they change globally.

Erin Callan:I am sure there will be opportunities for market share, yes they did have capabilities in some of our core competencies. At the moment is hard to get too focused on what is the upside for us.
