Fitch Ratings Fitch Ratings

An international rating agency for financial institutions, insurance companies, and corporate, sovereign, and municipal debt. Fitch Ratings has headquarters in New York and London and is wholly owned by FIMALAC of Paris. today has updated its Quantitative Insurer Financial Strength (Q-IFS) ratings for 456 U.S. property/casualty insurance companies. At the same time, Fitch has assigned new Q-IFS ratings to 48 U.S. property/casualty insurers.

Of the 456 updated ratings, there are 58 upgrades, 30 downgrades, and 368 affirmations. Fitch notes that the number of upgrades relative to downgrades reflects the improvements in credit fundamentals experienced by the rated companies during the 2005 financial year.

Including the 504 Q-IFS ratings, Fitch currently maintains coverage on 911 U.S. property/casualty insurance companies that collectively make up about 77% of total industry net premiums written.

'Fitch is committed to providing more comprehensive coverage of the U.S. property/casualty sector to meet growing demand for our ratings. Fitch believes that these Q-IFS ratings provide an invaluable tool in assessing the financial strength of U.S. property/casualty companies, particularly those companies that do not have broad rating coverage from all agencies,' said Jim Auden, Fitch Ratings Senior Director & U.S. Property/Casualty Insurance Sector Head.

Q-IFS ratings are generated solely on a statistical model utilizing the five most recent years of statutory financial statement information. The model incorporates 'rating logic' that mirrors many aspects of the quantitative analysis Quantitative Analysis

A security analysis that uses financial information derived from company annual reports and income statements to evaluate an investment decision.

Notes: that is used to assign traditional IFS ratings. While recognizing the limitations associated with using a strict quantitative rating approach, Fitch believes that IFS ratings do provide a reasonable representation of the company's stand-alone financial strength and operating profile.
