PR Newswire

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Sept. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Amalgamated Life Insurance Company (www.amalgamatedbenefits.com), a leading provider of comprehensive insurance solutions, has earned its 45^th consecutive "A" (Excellent) rating from A.M. Best Company, a full-service credit rating organization dedicated to serving the insurance industry. The "A" rating attests to the company's strong fiscal position and is a reliable criterion for plan sponsors and brokers seeking a high quality, high performance insurance resource.

Amalgamated Life Insurance Company President and CEO Paul Mallen stated, "Integral to our corporate mission of helping working people and their families achieve financial security are the high standards we adhere to across all operations and in our financial performance. Continually monitoring operations against key performance indicators helps facilitate our high service quality. Remaining focused on our long-term vision, maintaining a strong balance sheet and adhering to sound enterprise risk management policies have enabled us to continue our steady growth. Our growth and market expansion has also been facilitated by our adherence to prudent financial and investment policies reflecting a conservative portfolio and sound asset/liability management strategies that balance yield with risk."

While the pandemic tested Amalgamated Life's operations as it did with most companies, Amalgamated's strength and resiliency were clearly on display as it effectively and efficiently continued operations during COVID-19's peak lockdown months in New York where the company is headquartered. Relying on its advanced information technologies and best practices, the company maintained its work flow and responsive, award-winning customer service even though the majority of its staff worked remotely. Mallen credits the company's performance during this especially challenging period with what he called, "a very effective Board and management team and proactive planning."
