OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has assigned a Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a-” (Excellent) to Nevada General Insurance Company (NGIC) (Henderson, NV), which is under new ownership. The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

The ratings reflect NGIC’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.

NGIC is now owned by Southlake Specialty Insurance Company (SSIC), which is a member of the Southlake Insurance Group. The ratings of SSIC have been extended to NGIC.

Concurrently, with the assignment of these ratings, AM Best has withdrawn the former ratings of NGIC that were under Western National Mutual Insurance Company.
