AM Best Withdraws Credit Ratings of AXA XL Resseguros S.A.

OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has withdrawn the Financial Strength Rating of A+ (Superior) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “aa-” (Superior) of AXA XL Resseguros S.A. (Sao Paolo, BR). The company had previously been rated as part of the broader AXA S.A. rating unit, serving in its Brazil reinsurance market. AM Best has withdrawn these Credit Ratings (ratings) as the company has requested to no longer participate in AM Best’s interactive rating process for this specific legal entity.

AM Best’s procedure is for a final rating opinion to be produced in conjunction with a rating withdrawal. However, a final rating could not be determined due to a lack of financial information and standalone business plans required to determine a final rating assessment.

This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best’s website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see AM Best’s Recent Rating Activity web page.
