Des Moines-based Aviva USA, the U.S. unit of London-based Aviva PLC, Britain’s largest insurer, is the result of the company’s acquisition of AmerUs Group last year.
A.M. Best increased the rating for the U.S. business unit to superior from excellent as part of an annual review of the business. An A.M.
