Press Release: TT Club Rating Maintained at A- (Excellent)
21 June 2010
Leading US rating agency A.M. Best has again confirmed mutual insurer TT Club's financial strength rating as A- (Excellent), as well as the issuer credit rating of 'a-'. The agency said that the outlook for TT Club over the next year is '
stable'.
A.M. Best expected TT Club to, "Maintain strong consolidated risk-adjusted capitalisation in 2010 despite a small decrease in retained earnings". The agency commented positively that TT Club, "Employs a prudent approach to setting reserves with a significant margin established above internal actuary's best estimate."
Charles Fenton, CEO of TT Club, expressed satisfaction with the confirmation of an A- rating. "Although 2010 represents another challenging year as the global economy recovers, the Club's strong balance sheet and high level of solvency positions it well for the economic up-turn."
TT Club's business strategy includes; further development of the high service standards offered to the Club's traditional core market sectors, including port operators, cargo handling facilities, and container owners and lessors; a focus on the transport and logistics sector in order to grow the business; and strong cost control.
In the agency's opinion, TT Club has a good specialist business profile in the international marine transport and logistics insurance market. A superior service provision and strong industry involvement support the Club's business profile and contribute to a high policyholder retention (greater than 90%).
