AM Best Revises Outlooks to Negative for SOCIETY INSURANCE, a mutual company
BUSINESS WIRE)-- AM Best has revised the outlooks to negative from stable and affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of 'a-' (Excellent) of SOCIETY INSURANCE, a mutual company (SOCIETY) (Fond du Lac, WI). The Credit Ratings (ratings) reflect SOCIETY'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 (ERM). The revised outlooks to negative from stable are based on underwriting losses that have been reported in five consecutive years, with heightened losses occurring in 2023 and 2024. SOCIETY's net underwriting losses peaked in 2023 driven by an increase in catastrophe events and large loss experience that continued into 2024, resulting in deterioration of the company's combined ratio and operating return metrics. The combined ratio has been above breakeven in four of the past five years and now exceeds the composite average. Despite the unfavorable trend in recent years, the company's loss and loss adjustment expense ratios remain comparable with the composite and corrective actions are in place to improve results going forward. In resolving the negative outlook, AM Best's focus will be on the extent to which management's recent premium rate and other underwriting actions gain traction in the remainder of 2025 and early 2026 and lead to a sustainable trend of improved underwriting performance and internal capital generation. SOCIETY's very strong balance sheet is based on the company's strongest risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). Balance sheet strength is further supported by a sound liquidity position, moderate underwriting leverage and a conservative investment risk profile. Surplus note issuance in 2025 has helped sustain risk-adjusted capitalization, tempered by an increase in financial leverage and debt servicing costs for the enterprise. The business profile reflects SOCIETY's long-standing agency relationships, industry trade association endorsements, and in-depth expertise in select business niches. Its specialty market/commercial book of business exposes results to frequent and severe weather-related events, large losses and competitive market pressures. Ongoing diversification into other states outside of its home state of Wisconsin has expanded its footprint. ERM is considered appropriate for its risk profile, commensurate with the complexity and scale of the company. 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. For additional information regarding the use and limitations of Credit Rating opinions, please view Guide to Best's Credit Ratings.

Google Just Made Gmail Better—But You Need A New Email Address
New update does not solve Gmail's main problem. Republished on July 18 as Gmail goes down, affecting users around the world. Google is on a roll with Gmail. Upgrading the world's most popular email platform with a raft of AI uplifts that give its 2 billion users some serious decisions to make, as they balance privacy and convenience. And there's more of the same with its latest update, which helps but still leaves Gmail users in need of different email addresses. The coverage of Google's most recent change — the addition of an unsubscribe button and backend process for marketing emails — has been universally positive. And why not. Who doesn't want a simple way to dispatch spam to the trash folder. But this is a bandaid when a different solution is needed. It's not an unsubscribe button you need, it's a fresh new email address. One that's not already sitting in countless marketeer and spammer databases pumping out content. And there are plenty of reasons to set up a new account and clean house when it comes to your contact details. But that only works if the situation doesn't repeat over time. Even if you just want to prevent the current situation getting worse, you need to stop sharing your email address with anyone that asks. Thankfully, Google has a solution waiting in the wings. Changing your email address is inconvenient, and so Google has a halfway house. We're talking Shielded Email, Google's answer to Apple's excellent Hide My Email offering that enables users to easily create new email aliases instead of supplying their real addresses when asked to do so online. These new addresses can then be deleted when it becomes apparent they're driving a mass of unwanted spam in your direction. This is akin to a new email address any time you want one, addresses that can be turned off at will. None of those you share these with can see your real email address, and that means when you turn one off, you also turn off anyone who has been sold that data. Android Authority unpicked a Google Play Services APK and reported that Shielded Emails 'will be part of Google's Autofill system. Just think of all the apps or screens where Google pops up with its suggested autofill details based on your saved passwords and usernames; all of these should be the new home for this new Shielded Email.' This stops your email address getting into the hands of marketeers and scammers, which is materially better than having to group all this junk together and hit a button to unsubscribe. In reality, you didn't actually subscribe to most of this in the first place. As Apple says, Hide My Email 'lets you keep your personal email address private, whether you're creating a new account with an app, signing up for a newsletter online, making a purchase or sending an email to someone you don't know well.' Google's latest Gmail update. Contrast this with Google's new unsubscribe offering, which sorts junk 'by the most frequent senders alongside the number of emails they've sent you in the past few weeks,' and then lets you 'easily unsubscribe in one click, and Gmail will send an unsubscribe request to the sender on your behalf.' This is not the same. As Google itself admits, 'it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of subscription emails clogging your inbox: Daily deal alerts that are basically spam, weekly newsletters from blogs you no longer read, promotional emails from retailers you haven't shopped in years can quickly pile up.' Apple provides new email addresses on demand to 'protect your inbox from spam and shield your personal data from hackers.' Unfortunately, an unsubscribe button does neither of those things, it just makes deletions easier. Google's equivalent offering can't come soon enough. It has been teased since late last year and we've seen pre-release code. I would not want this unsubscribe button to be seen as a replacement or to reduce the need. It does neither. The other way to reduce spam is to turn off your email completely. There's a separate debate as to the archaic nature of email itself and the need for something new. Its core architecture hasn't changed in decades and it remains an open platform that requires users to provide their core contact information to all and sundry. This is why you need a new email address, of course. But sometimes email goes off all on its own, and you get the same result. Peace and quiet. We saw that with Outlook earlier in the month, and on Friday it was Gmail's turn to go down. Per Tom's Guide, 'this was a significant issue and one that could negatively impact Google users' ability to do, well, anything,.' The good news, though, is that 'it didn't last too long,' and was here and gone before it received much pickup at all. According to CNET, 'it seems that the troubles began around 8.a.m PT on Friday morning, just as many people in the U.S. were beginning their work day. At this time, Downdetector saw sharp spikes in reports across all Google services.' Google says it lasted for less than an hour. 'Various Workspace services are experiencing elevated latency and error rates,' with the 'initial investigation pointing to a hardware infrastructure failure as the likely cause. Engineers mitigated the workspace impact by routing the traffic away from the affected hardware infrastructure.' For all those impacted, that was an hour without any spam hitting their inboxes. Kind of like a fresh new email address that no one yet knows or has in their database.
