A.M. Best Upgrades Credit Ratings for Nationwide Insurance Company of Florida and Veterinary Pet Insurance Company
Both NICOF and VPI have long benefitted from the implicit and explicit support from their ultimate parent, Nationwide, through platforms and processes such as catastrophe reinsurance coverage, enterprise risk management and common infrastructure and distribution channels. Each company is now operating under 100% quota share reinsurance agreements with their parent companies, which are members of the Nationwide pooling agreement, thus transferring all underwriting and reserve risks to the members of the Nationwide pool.
Regarding future rating movement, if trends in underwriting performance continue to be unprofitable for the Nationwide pool in the near term, leading to notable decline in risk-adjusted capitalization, downward rating pressure may occur. Conversely, an established and continuing trend in underwriting profitability for the Nationwide pool could eventually lead to consideration of positive outlook.
