A.M. Best announced that it has downgraded the financial strength rating of Denmark’s Copenhagen Reinsurance Group to C+ (Marginal) from B (Fair). It also withdrew its rating on Copenhagen Re at the company’s request.
“The lowering of the rating follows the further erosion of Copenhagen Re’s capital base after revised estimates of the company’s exposure (DKK 700 million) [$84 million] to the World Trade Center disaster and the lack of notification to A.M. Best of any further capital support from the company’s ultimate parent, ALM Brand,” said the announcement.
The move follows a downgrade last November 21, and highlights Best’s uncertainty about Copenhagen Re’s ability to resume underwriting activities following its losses.
