Beazley Bermuda Insurance Limited (BBIL)<\/a>, the London-domiciled specialist insurer and reinsurer\u2019s new Bermuda entity, has been assigned a Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of \u201ca+\u201d (Excellent) by credit ratings agency AM Best.<\/p>\n

\"BeazleyThe outlook assigned to these ratings is stable. The ratings align with AM Best’s assignment of a Preliminary Credit Assessment (PCA)<\/a> to BBIL in January 2026.<\/p>\n

Following the recent reports that Zurich Insurance Group\u2019s offer to acquire Beazley is progressing,<\/a> AM Best is closely monitoring all Beazley companies’ ratings, which will be further reviewed if and when a binding offer is accepted.<\/p>\n

According to AM Best, the ratings reflect BBIL\u2019s \u201cvery strong\u201d balance sheet strength, adequate operating performance, neutral business profile, and appropriate enterprise risk management.<\/p>\n

The ratings also factor in lift from BBIL\u2019s ultimate parent, Beazley plc (Beazley), reflecting the strategic importance of BBIL to the group.<\/p>\n

The Best\u2019s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR) has measured BBIL\u2019s balance sheet strength at the strongest level, underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalisation, and the understanding that the insurer will follow Beazley plc\u2019s prudent reserving and investment strategy.<\/p>\n

BBIL\u2019s risk-adjusted capitalisation will be supported by a large capital base of $531 million at the start of 2026.<\/p>\n

BBIL is expected to achieve an adequate operating performance assessment over the medium term, supported by profitable, albeit potentially somewhat volatile, underwriting results despite the softening pricing environment.<\/p>\n

Its investment income is expected to contribute meaningfully to the overall earnings, particularly in its initial years of business.<\/p>\n

Lastly, BBIL will enable the group to widen its footprint and gain access to Bermuda\u2019s reinsurance market. The company\u2019s portfolio is expected to complement that of Beazley and provide additional diversification over the long term, explained AM Best.<\/p>\n
