SCOR welcomes Standard & Poor's decision
to affirm its "AA-" rating
SCOR has been informed of the decision by Standard & Poor's (S&P) to affirm the
financial strength rating for the Group and its main subsidiaries at "AA-", with
a "stable outlook", and to maintain the counterparty credit ratings at "AA-/A-
1+".
S&P had upgraded SCOR's Financial Strength rating to "AA- stable outlook" from
"A+ positive outlook" in September 2015, highlighting that SCOR had
"demonstrated its very strong competitive position through resilience in pricing
and technical profitability in its P&C book and has reinforced its leading
position in the U.S. Life reinsurance market" and considering that "the Group's
very strong business risk profile is further supported by a leading market share
in significant markets in both the P&C and Life markets."
Denis Kessler, Chairman and CEO of SCOR, comments: "This decision by Standard &
Poor's affirms the solidity of SCOR's strategy and supports its new 3-year
strategic plan "Vision in Action". This affirmation further demonstrates the
strength of SCOR's global franchise and reinforces its Tier 1 position. Our
teams benefit from the best conditions to start the renewal period at the Monte-
Carlo Rendez-Vous".
