Strategies for Higher Credit Ratings
Why are some insurers more successful than others in achieving their credit rating goals?
- Strong performance,
- Good working relationship with lead analyst and/or rating committee members
Obviously those are important considerations but our experience has taught us that the most successful companies follow three basic strategies:
- Make their rating objective a top organizational priority,
- Develop a credible business plan to achieve that objective and
- Proactively address rating obstacles.
