A.M. Best Revises Issuer Credit Rating Outlook to Positive for RBC Life Insurance Company
09 3월 2017 - 5:27AM
Business Wire
A.M. Best has revised the outlook to positive from stable
for the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating (Long-Term ICR) and affirmed
the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of A (Excellent) and the
Long-Term ICR of “a” of RBC Life Insurance Company (RBC
Life) (Mississauga, Ontario). The outlook of the FSR remains
stable.
The positive outlook on the Long-Term ICR reflects the company’s
strong risk-adjusted capitalization, improved earnings in core
business lines and the strong brand name recognition of the
Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) [TSX and NYSE: RY] in the
Canadian market. RBC Life operates as the Canadian life insurance
operation of its parent, RBC, under RBC Insurance, a division of
RBC.
RBC Life maintains a favorable market position in Canada in the
individual living benefits and group long-term disability insurance
markets. RBC Life also has maintained a focus on growing its
individual and group life segments through increasing its range of
insurance product solutions and deepening client relationships. RBC
Life has experienced increased sales of targeted insurance products
through continued expansion of wealth product offerings and the
pension risk transfer business. A.M. Best believes RBC will
continue to support RBC Life’s growth initiatives, if needed, as it
has demonstrated in the past.
Partially offsetting these positive rating factors are the
challenges RBC Life faces while positioning itself to increase
market share in Canada’s competitive individual life and group
accident and sickness markets, as well as the challenges due to the
continued low interest rate environment. A.M. Best also notes that
RBC Life maintains a modest position in the wealth management
market through its general account annuities, group annuities and
segregated funds.
