Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services said it revised its outlook on Italy-based marine insurer UMS Generali Marine SpA (UMS) to positive from stable.
At the same time, S&P affirmed its ‘A-‘ long-term counterparty credit and insurer financial strength ratings on UMS.
“The outlook revision reflects Standard & Poor’s expectation that UMS will see further improvement in its technical profitability throughout 2003 and 2004,” S&P credit analyst Peter Grant said.
The ratings reflect UMS’ strategic importance to its parent, Assicurazioni Generali SpA (AA/Negative/–); good business position; good operating performance; and strong level of capitalization.
The ratings may be raised if UMS establishes a track record of operating performance in respect of its newly established participation in the London Market and maintains its risk-adjusted capitalization at a strong level.
