Insurer keeps A rating

Large losses at the Manx-based National Grid Insurance Company weren't enough to lower the captive insurer’s financial strength rating.

AM Best has affirmed the captive insurer's A rating.

The American rating agency says it made the decision because of the insurer's strong risk-adjusted capitalisation and comprehensive reinsurance program.

The company, owned by National Grid, is expected to incur around £40 million in net claims from this year’s summer floods in Europe.
