A.M. Best Requests Comments on Draft Criteria Report
January 28, 2014
A.M. Best Co. is requesting comments from market participants in the insurance industry and other interested parties on the draft criteria report, “BCAR for Title Insurance Companies.”
In the draft criteria report, edits have been made to make the approach for evaluating U.S. surplus notes in Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR) consistent with the approach explained in the new criteria report, “Evaluating U.S. Surplus Notes.” The updates are part of A.M. Best’s continual review of its rating methodology and are not considered material or expected to affect the vast majority of ratings. Visit www.ambest.com/ratings/methodology to download a PDF copy of the draft report.
Written comments should be submitted by email to [email protected] no later than Feb. 20, 2014. The details of any comments received may be made public unless specifically requested to be kept confidential.
