The rating move follows A.M. Best’s announcement from November 2021 to revise the outlook to “positive” from “stable”.
According to A.M. Best, the rating ugrades reflect “a consistent strengthening of balance sheet fundamentals over the past few years, underpinned by a prudent risk culture and strong and stable operating performance”.
“We are very pleased that A.M. Best has upgraded our credit ratings, which we believe confirms our systematic efforts to improve the quality and sustainability of our earnings, as well as our strong risk culture, in an environment of considerable uncertainty”, said Dr Jan Wicke, Chief Financial Officer of HDI V.a.G. and Talanx AG.

HDI Global Specialty SE
HDI Global Seguros, S.A. (based in Mexico)
