Companion Life Continues Excellent Rating Streak With 18th Consecutive A+ Rating

December 20, 2019

Companion Life Insurance Company has been awarded its 18th consecutive financial strength rating of A+ from AM Best Company, the global rating agency with a focus on the insurance industry and known to be a leading provider of financial analysis and industry research. The ratings reflect Companion Life’s balance sheet strength, operating performance, business profile and enterprise risk management. 

 

According to Companion Life President John Wilbur, who joined the organization this year, stop-loss insurance remains a central focus of the organization as does the fostering of longstanding relationships that have helped the company maintain this unprecedented, year-over-year recognition. He said, “We are unwavering in our commitment to strategic growth even as we recognize, too, that we do not achieve this level of achievement without the support of longstanding relationships in this highly specialized marketplace. This recognition is a meaningful metric of financial strength for our marketing partners, peace of mind for our policyholders, and a point of pride for all of us at Companion Life.”
