S&P placed all its long-term ratings, including its “A-” counterparty credit and insurer financial strength ratings, on France-based reinsurer SCOR and subsidiaries on CreditWatch with negative implications. The placement follows the reinsurer’s disappointing first quarter results, diminished business position and potential reserve strengthening down the line.
