AM Best Revises Issuer Credit Rating Outlook to Stable for Energy Insurance Mutual Limited

OLDWICK, N.J.--()--AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating (Long-Term ICR) of “a” (Excellent) of Energy Insurance Mutual Limited (EIM) (Bridgetown, Barbados). The outlook of the Long-Term ICR has been revised to stable from positive, while the outlook of the FSR is stable.

The Credit Ratings (ratings) reflect EIM’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strongest, as well as its adequate operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.

The stable Long-Term ICR outlook reflects EIM’s overall favorable operating performance, which AM Best expects to continue to enhance the company’s already solid balance sheet strength, despite the volatile nature of the business it writes. These rating factors are derived from EIM’s specialized expertise in providing insurance and risk management information and services to its members from the energy utility sector, as well as its ability to generate business opportunities through its niche market strategy. As a result of its strategy, EIM has strong member retention. The company remains committed to growth in capital and surplus, a well-diversified investment portfolio, and a focus on the long-term stability of the organization for its members.
