FLFCC receives “Issuer Credit Rating” upgrade from A.M. Best

President Stephen C Hall announced recently that A.M. Best Company, the world’s oldest insurance rating service, has upgraded the company’s Issuer Credit rating from a to a+ and affirmed the company’s Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent). The outlook for both ratings was listed as “stable”.

The reasons stated for this upgrade were FLFCC’s strong risk-adjusted capitalization, consistent underwriting and operating profitability. A favorable balance sheet liquidity and management’s local market knowledge were also given as reasons for the upgrade.

In the official news release Best explained that “The rating outlook reflects A.M. Best’s expectation that Finger Lakes will maintain solid risk-adjusted capitalization and consistently strong underwriting and operating performance in the near to medium term”.

We at Finger Lakes Fire & Casualty Company are extremely proud of this rating upgrade and thank our Agents, Staff and Board of Directors for their continued support.
