AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of Trisura Group Ltd. MembersAM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of "a-" (Excellent) of Trisura Specialty Insurance Company (Trisura Specialty), Trisura Insurance Company (TIC) and Trisura Guarantee Insurance Company (Toronto, Ontario, Canada), which comprise Trisura Group Ltd. (Trisura). Trisura Specialty and TIC are domiciled in Oklahoma City, OK. The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. The ratings reflect Trisura's consolidated balance sheet strength, which AM Best categorises as very strong, as well as the group's adequate operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. AM Best expects Trisura to maintain the strongest level of consolidated risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), while considering the execution of its business plans featuring premium growth in both the Canadian and U.S. enterprises, as well as future potential debt offerings to approach a debt-to-capital ratio of 20%. The adequate operating performance assessment considers the profitability of the Canadian business and the continued execution of the U.S. fronting business plans. The group has senior management and underwriting teams in place that have extensive experience in the targeted classes of business. In AM Best's view, this increases the likelihood of successful execution of the group's business plan. The ratings also acknowledge the operational integration between the operating subsidiaries of Trisura, s each entity shares investment management, marketing and accounting services, and risk frameworks. Each operation contributes materially to the overall earnings of the organization, and each entity is considered a critical part of the business plan.
