Standard Insurance Company's financial strength ratings.
In the July 2008 issue of Best's Review, The Standard was recognized for financial strength dating back 80 years.
The magazine is published by A.M. Best Company, a credit rating organization focused on the financial services industry. Their ratings and analysis help customers and investors assess the financial strengths of organizations and products primarily in banking and insurance sectors. The company, founded in 1906 (the same year that the company that would become The Standard was founded), has a unique historical perspective on the industry.
For their latest issue, they undertook a "history project" profiling insurers able to maintain an "A" rating1 or higher for at least 75 years. The Standard was honored to be among one of only 15 life/health insurers able to consistently achieve this high level of performance for more than seven decades.
According to the article, The Standard has maintained an "A" rating1 since 1928. Given the rapidly evolving markets, changing customer needs and challenging economic times, this is a significant accomplishment. We are proud of this long-standing track record of financial strength and stability.
1 An "A" rating from A.M. Best is the 3rd highest rating out of 16 possible ratings given to insurers by A.M. Best.
