Rating agency A.M. Best has affirmed a stable outlook for
nib NZ Limited. Its financial strength rating was A- and its long-term issuer credit rating was “a-.” Concurrently, A.M. Best has withdrawn the ratings as the health insurer has requested to no longer participate in A.M. Best’s interactive rating process.
A.M Best said the ratings reflect nib’s strong risk-adjusted capitalization and continued favourable operating performance.
The insurer’s strong risk-adjusted capitalization was due to its low product risk profile, conservative investment mix, and favourable liquidity position.
The agency said nib achieved a good performance track record, with an average operating ratio of approximately 91% over the past five years.
