Fitch rates Ameritrade loan BB

Fitch Ratings said it expects to assign a BB long-term rating to Ameritrade Holding Corp.'s senior debt term loan borrowings, which consist of the following $250 million term loan A senior secured notes due Jan. 24, 2012 and $1.650 billion term loan B senior secured notes maturing Jan. 24, 2013.

The outlook is positive.

Fitch said the rating is based on Ameritrade's position as a leading player in the online discount brokerage space.

As challenges, Fitch cites the competitive nature of online brokerage and diversified financial services as well as tangible equity as a ratings concern.
