A.M. Best Co. placed the “A-” (excellent) financial strength rating of Nationwide Ins. Co. of Florida (NICOF) under review with negative implications, as a result of anticipated losses associated with Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne, and the subsequent reduction of the company’s risk adjusted capitalization.
