Curative Health Insurance Company's Financial Strength Rating Affirmed by AM Best for Third Consecutive Year
According to AM Best, their FSR rating is an independent opinion of an insurer's financial strength and ability to meet its ongoing insurance policy and contract obligations.

ICRs are based on a company's ability to meet its ongoing financial obligations and can be issued either on a long or short-term basis. Curative's "a-" Long-Term ICR ratings mean that AM Best believes that Curative has an excellent ability, over the long term, to meet their ongoing senior financial obligations.

AM Best Upgrades Credit Ratings of JSC Insurance Company Aldagi Group
LONDON, July 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has upgraded the Financial Strength Rating to B+ (Good) from B (Fair) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating to "bbb-" (Good) from "bb+" (Fair) of JSC Insurance Company Aldagi Group (Aldagi) (Georgia). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) has been revised to stable from positive. The ratings reflect Aldagi's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as its strong operating performance, limited business profile and marginal enterprise risk management. The rating upgrades reflect AM Best's expectation that Aldagi will demonstrate continued resilience in its balance sheet strength and maintain its risk-adjusted capitalisation comfortably at the strongest level, as measured by Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), supported by prudent capital and underwriting management. Furthermore, the risk of material capital extractions due to Aldagi's association with its ultimate parent, Georgia Capital PLC, has been substantially reduced as the latter has improved its financial stability. Aldagi's assessment also considers its liquid investment portfolio and moderate dependence on reinsurance, with counterparty credit risk reduced through its use of reinsurers high financial strength. Offsetting factors include the company's onerous dividend policy, which limits its internal capital generation, as well as Aldagi's exposure to the moderate political and high economic, as well as financial system risks in Georgia. Aldagi has a track record of strong operating performance and, in 2024, generated a return-on-equity ratio of 30.8% and a net-net non-life combined ratio of 91.1% (both as calculated by AM Best). Underwriting results have benefited from Aldagi's prudent approach to risk selection and focus on profitability over top-line growth. In 2024, the company reported insurance service results of GEL 47.7 million (approximately USD 17.0 million) (2023: GEL 37.7 million, approximately USD 13.4 million). Aldagi's net investment returns contribute positively to its operating profitability, but have been somewhat volatile over recent years owing to the high-interest rate environment in Georgia and internationally, as well as movements in the fair value of invested assets. Aldagi is one of the largest insurance companies in Georgia, with a market share of approximately 17%, based on 2024 combined non-life and life market premiums. The company benefits from its strong brand and multichannel distribution network. Nevertheless, Aldagi's business profile is constrained by its geographical concentration and the small size of its portfolio by international standards. In 2024, the company reported insurance revenue of GEL 200.9 million (approximately USD 71.1 million). Aldagi's top line is expected to grow moderately in the medium term as the company develops its facultative reinsurance business domestically and in regional foreign markets.

AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of Police Health Plan Limited
SINGAPORE, July 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of "a-" (Excellent) of Police Health Plan Limited (PHP) (New Zealand). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is negative. The ratings reflect PHP's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. In addition, the ratings factor in a neutral impact from the company's ultimate ownership by the New Zealand Police Association (NZPA). The negative outlooks reflect the ongoing pressure on PHP's operating performance, which also places pressure on its balance sheet strength fundamentals, given the declining risk-adjusted capitalisation due to underwriting losses and PHP's limited financial flexibility. PHP's balance sheet strength assessment is underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalisation, as measured by Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), which is expected to remain at the strongest level, albeit with a declining trend in recent years driven by operating losses. AM Best views the company's investment strategy to be low risk, with its investment portfolio consisting of cash and term deposits. As an insurer dedicated only to its captive membership base, PHP is considered to have limited financial flexibility. In addition, the company has a modest capital base, which increases the sensitivity of capital adequacy to stress scenarios or fluctuations in performance. AM Best assesses PHP's operating performance as adequate, albeit the company's operating performance metrics have exhibited a decreasing trend over the past five fiscal years. PHP's underwriting performance remains impacted by high claims inflation in New Zealand's health insurance industry, with the company reporting material underwriting losses in fiscal year 2024 and 2025. While the company has implemented portfolio remediation actions such as premium rate increases, AM Best expects PHP's near-term underwriting performance to remain under pressure. Nonetheless, PHP continues to benefit from its efficient cost structure, allowing it to offer competitive health coverage and premium rates to its members. As a not-for-profit insurer, investment income remains a key contributor to overall earnings. In fiscal year 2024, the company reported a net investment yield (including gains/losses) of 5.6%. PHP provides health insurance exclusively to current and former members of the New Zealand police and their families. Despite having a relatively small premium base in New Zealand's health insurance market, the company's business profile assessment factors in its high penetration rate within the police force and its close integration with the NZPA, which gives rise to synergy and efficiency benefits. PHP has preferential access to the NZPA's member base, benefits from low distribution costs, and shares overhead with the broader group.
