AM Best Assigns Issue Credit Rating to Greater New York Mutual Insurance Company’s Surplus Note
AM Best has assigned a Long-Term Issue Credit Rating of “a” (Excellent) to the
The ratings of GNY reflects its balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strongest, as well as its strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. GNY currently does not carry any other debt, and there is no recent history of debt.
GNY has successfully grown its surplus through strong earnings over the last five years; however, in the last several years, the rate of premium growth has outpaced the rate of capital growth leading to higher premium leverage. The surplus notes are intended to support the company’s capital in anticipation of further premium growth and provide an additional layer of protection for catastrophic events, as well as enhance GNY’s financial flexibility. The proceeds from the notes will be invested by GNY’s fixed income managers in line with the rest of the company’s investment portfolio. Following the surplus notes issuance, the financial leverage at GNY will be well within AM Best’s guidelines for the rating and the interest coverage is expected to be strong.
