United Educators Named to Ward’s 50® Top-Performing Companies

BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--United Educators (UE) is among Ward’s 50® top property-casualty insurance companies for the third consecutive year, recognizing UE’s sustained financial strength and longstanding commitment to serving its members.

The honor underscores UE’s dedication to its mission to partner with K-12 schools, colleges and universities to identify, avoid and manage risks. Ward benchmarking, now conducted by Aon, rewards companies that demonstrate the capital strength and operational discipline necessary to meet their obligations to policyholders over the long term.

Aon recognized UE for outstanding financial results across 2021-25. The firm analyzed the financial performance of nearly 3,000 property-casualty insurance companies in identifying the top performers. UE’s inclusion stems from sound underwriting practices and responsible stewardship of member premiums, including a low expense ratio and solid investment returns. Together, these factors have contributed to UE’s consistent record of financial stability.

“This recognition reflects our commitment to serve as a reliable partner to our members,” said Sean Barnes, UE’s Chief Financial Officer. “As educational institutions face an increasingly complex risk environment, UE’s long-term financial strength is crucial to providing the essential insurance, claims support, risk management resources, and education expertise they rely on.”

Companies named to the Ward’s 50® list have met rigorous financial stability requirements and maintain strong capital positions and underwriting results.

UE’s inclusion on the Ward's 50® list follows its continued A (Excellent) Financial Strength Rating from AM Best, which it has earned every year since 1998.
