What the Ratings Mean

A number of independent rating services evaluate life insurance companies and render an opinion as to a specific company's ability to fulfill its obligations to policyowners. Rating agencies such as A.M. Best annually assess subscribing companies' financial strength and claims-paying abilities.

The ratings assigned are based on both quantitative as well as qualitative data. Key quantitative data includes, but is not limited to, capital adequacy, asset quality, profitability, liquidity and operating efficiency. Key qualitative factors include business strategy, strength of company products, distribution systems, competency of management and projections of future performance. After completing their analysis, the rating agency assigns a rating to the company reporting their opinion of the financial security characteristics of the organization.

When you are selecting a life insurance policy, these ratings can help you to compare the relative strengths of each insurance company under consideration. Bear in mind however, ratings do not tell the whole story about a company, reveal which companies provide the best returns, tell how good a company's products are, guarantee an insurer's financial strength or security, or offer comment on the quality and level of service provided.
