PCS’ risk-adjusted capitalization stands at the strongest level, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR); significant positive bottom-line results have allowed the company to widen its capital base in recent years. PCS continues to benefit from risk mitigation, achieved through diversification in its business and investment portfolios, as well as a robust and comprehensive reinsurance program with highly rated reinsurers.
