BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

S&P upgrades Munich Re

Reprints

MUNICH, Germany—Standard & Poor's Corp. has raised its rating of Munich Reinsurance Co. to AA- from A+.

S&P said the upgrade reflects "the group's major and sustained improvements in operating performance, a strong enterprise risk management framework, and increased certainty about the adequacy of Munich Re's overall reserve position," said Karin Clemens, an analyst at S&P in a statement.

S&P said it expected Munich Re to sustain strong earnings throughout the insurance and reinsurance cycle, and post a combined ratio of less than 100% for both primary and reinsurance business.
