//BestWire// - AM Best has withdrawn the Financial Strength Rating of A-(Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a-” (Excellent) of North End Re (Cayman) SPC (Cayman Islands) (NERC). At the time of the withdrawal, these Credit Rating (ratings) were under review with developing implications.

The withdrawal of NERC’s ratings reflects the recent recapture of its business by an affiliate, leaving NERC with no remaining insurance liabilities. Consequently, the company no longer meets the minimum requirements needed to participate in AM Best’s interactive rating process.
