AM Best confirms credit ratings of National Indemnity Company and its subsidiaries
AM Best confirmed the financial strength rating (FSR) of A ++ (superior) and the long-term issuer credit rating (long-term ICR) of “aaa” (superior) of
National Indemnity’s ratings reflect the strength of its balance sheet, which AM Best considers to be the strongest, as well as its very good operational performance, very favorable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM).
The National Indemnity leadership team continues to successfully manage the underwriting cycle. The group’s overall operating results have outperformed AM Best’s reinsurance composite, as measured by a wide range of profitability measures, over an extended period of time. National Indemnity maintains extensive financial resources and expertise which places the company in a strong position to seize unique market opportunities and occasionally absorb declines in surplus, typically related to temporary unrealized investment losses. In addition, Berkshire offers substantial financial flexibility, diversification and long-term competitive advantages associated with its non-insurance business. Additionally, the ratings reflect the benefits of being a part of Berkshire, which includes the organization’s strong investment sense.
National Indemnity’s exposure to higher levels of equity investments compared to other market players partially offsets these strengths. These higher levels of equity investments can cause volatility in the profitability and capitalization of the group; however, AM Best’s concern is somewhat mitigated by the superior long-term performance of the group’s investment portfolio and its high liquidity.
The FSR of A ++ (Superior) and the long-term KPIs of “aaa” (Superior) were confirmed for
