The ratings have been withdrawn further to the sale of AICJ to Jerusalem Insurance Company PLC, which was completed on the 14 September 2025. As a consequence, AM Best’s contractual relationship with AICJ has ended.
The under review with developing implications status reflects uncertainty over AICJ’s future strategy and its financial strength.
