AM Best has assigned a Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of "a-" (Excellent) to American Atlantic Assurance Co. Ltd. (Malta). The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is negative.
The ratings assigned to American Atlantic Assurance Co. Ltd. reflect its recent inclusion into a pooling agreement with North American Casualty Group (NAC). The ratings reflect NAC’s consolidated balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, limited business profile and marginal enterprise risk management. As a result of the company’s inclusion into NAC, its performance and financial strength will be influenced heavily by the actions of the pool as a whole. All companies in the pool are collectively referred to as NAC.
