A.M. Best Removes From Under Review and Affirms Ratings of Cooperativa de Seguros de Vida de Puerto Rico


A.M. Best has removed from under review with negative implications and affirmed the financial strength rating of C+ (Marginal) and the issuer credit rating of "b-" of Cooperativa de Seguros de Vida de Puerto Rico (COSVI) (San Juan, PR). The outlook assigned to each rating is negative.

The ratings of COSVI reflect its relatively low risk-adjusted capitalization, potential for further spread compression on its interest-sensitive business lines and challenges to sustained premium growth in Puerto Rico's highly competitive marketplace. The ratings also consider the aggregate excess of loss reinsurance agreement used to support COSVI's Puerto Rico bond portfolio. Partially offsetting factors include its diversified product offerings, well-established presence in the cooperative and life insurance marketplace in Puerto Rico and is members' commitment to support the entity's financial flexibility.
