"Auto-Owners is proud to have received A.M. Best's highest rating for the past 44 years," said Jeff Harrold, chairman and CEO, Auto-Owners. "This recognition reflects the company's safe, sound, secure philosophy, which has been consistent throughout our 99-year history."

According to A.M. Best, "The ratings reflect AOIG's superior capitalization, the re-emergence of solid operating income primarily through net investment income and then supplemented more recently by underwriting profits, an experienced management team, a blend of personal and commercial product offerings and long-standing agency relationships. In addition, AOIG has strong risk management techniques and a well-established market position."

Additionally, the Auto-Owners Life Insurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary, was rated A+ (Superior) by A.M. Best, an honor it has earned every year since 1976.

Auto-Owners Insurance Group is one of only 12 insurance groups in the U.S. to receive the highest rating possible, A++ (Superior), by A.M. Best.

Besides the A.M. Best high ratings, Auto-Owners Insurance has also been ranked on the Fortune 500 list for 12 consecutive years.
