A.M. Best rates Canadian P&C insurers

A.M. Best Co. has affirmed the financial strength ratings (FSR) of 43 Canadian property/casualty companies, upgraded five FSRs, assigned three FSRs and downgraded one FSR.
These ratings are based solely upon public information and present the most informed view A.M. Best can offer, short of an insurer participating in the full interactive rating process, A.M. Best announced in a press release. A.M. Best uses the same rating scale and definitions as it does for its long-term financial strength interactive ratings but applies a pd modifier to ensure the user is aware of the more limited information basis for the rating.
