A.M. Best Company Ratings
At various places on the Constellation Website, reference may be made to the rating assigned by the A.M. Best Company (“A.M. Best”) to the carriers we represent. According to its website, A.M. Best is a full-service credit rating organization dedicated to serving the insurance industry. The objective of A.M. Best “Financial Strength Rating” system is to provide an opinion as to an insurer’s financial strength and ability to meet its ongoing obligations to policyholders. A.M. Best’s “Financial Strength Rating” opinions are divided into two broad categories: Secure and Vulnerable. Secure rated companies have experienced a very low failure frequency, and include ratings from A++ and A+ (Superior), to A and A- (Excellent) to B++ and B+ (Very Good). In A.M. Best’s opinion, the highest rated Secure companies have a very strong ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders, while the lowest rated Secure companies have a good ability. The higher a company’s Secure rating, the greater its ability to withstand adverse changes in underwriting and economic conditions over longer periods of time.
