A.M. Best Assigns Ratings to Union Insurance Company

(Dubai, UAE - November 10, 2013)

A.M. Best Europe – Rating Services Limited has assigned a financial strength rating of B++ (Good) and issuer credit rating of ‘bbb to Union Insurance Company. The outlook assigned to both ratings is stable.

As per AM Bests press release, the ratings reflect Union Insurances solid risk-adjusted capitalisation and incorporate the strength of its new senior management team, who joined the company in the third quarter of 2012. With a wealth of experience in the Middle East insurance markets and an impressive track-record spanning over 15 years with one of the leading domestic insurers, the management team has made considerable progress in restructuring Union Insurances operations; establishing tighter controls, guidelines and reporting across business units, stricter underwriting to improve profitability, an overhaul of claims reserving and enhanced enterprise risk management.

Although Union Insurance didnt have an impressive track-record prior to the change in leadership, the measures taken by the new management have resulted in significantly improved underwriting performance, a move towards a balanced business profile and reduced concentration in real estate assets during the first 9 months of 2013.
