Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a-” of Korea P&I Club (KP&I) (South Korea). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.
The ratings reflect KP&I’s solid risk-adjusted capitalization and adequate operating performance. Additionally, the club has a favorable business profile, offering protection and indemnity (P&I) insurance coverage primarily to its members in Korea. KP&I’s risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), remains strong, owing to its low underwriting leverage and conservative investment profile. Although the club has slightly increased its net retention limit in 2017, A.M. Best expects its risk-adjusted capitalization to remain at solid levels, underpinned by its prudent underwriting guidance. The club has maintained profitable operating performance over the past five years while reporting a modest level of volatility in key metrics, primarily driven by underwriting performance. KP&I has gradually increased its premium income in 2017 amid the prolonged recession in the shipping market, due to various initiatives including a new coinsurance program with an International Group of P&I club member to target the larger vessel market in Korea. While positive rating actions are unlikely in the near future, negative rating actions could occur if there is a material decrease in the club’s risk-adjusted capitalization or sustained deterioration in its operating performance. Ratings are communicated to rated entities prior to publication. Unless stated otherwise, the ratings were not amended subsequent to that communication. This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on A.M. Best’s website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see A.M.

Best HONG KONG, Aug 25 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- A.M. Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a-” of Hanwha General Insurance Company Limited (HGI) (South Korea). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.
The ratings reflect HGI’s adequate risk-adjusted capitalization and recent improvement in its operating results. In addition, the ratings incorporate the implicit and explicit support the company receives from its parent company, Hanwha Life Insurance Co., Ltd. HGI’s risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), decreased in 2016 due to an increase in investment and underwriting risks that was stronger than the growth of capital and surplus. The company reported strong growth in net premium income in 2016, driven by increases in premium rates and retention in its major business line of long-term insurance. However, the current ratings are supported by factors that include HGI’s proactive capital management strategies and conservative investment portfolio. Moreover, the company reported considerable improvement in profitability over the past three years, owing to measures such as restructuring its insurance portfolio and increases in premium rates. Partially offsetting rating factors include the company’s increased reliance on reinsurance arrangements for its long-term insurance business line and its high asset leverage, which could cause volatility in profitability and capitalization. Positive rating actions could occur if HGI demonstrates a stable track record in operating performance and capitalization. Negative rating actions could occur if the company’s operating performance or risk-adjusted capitalization deteriorates significantly, or if there is a sizeable decline in the parent company’s financial strength and credit profile. Ratings are communicated to rated entities prior to publication. Unless stated otherwise, the ratings were not amended subsequent to that communication.
