A.M. BEST REVISES OUTLOOKS TO POSITIVE FOR HEALTH SERVICES WELFARE SOCIETY LIMITED

SINGAPORE, May 26 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- A.M. Best has revised the outlooks to positive from stable and affirmed the financial strength rating of B (Fair) and the issuer credit rating of "bb " of Health Services Welfare Society Limited (New Zealand), trading as Accuro Health Insurance (Accuro).

The outlook revisions to positive reflect Accuro’s adequate risk-adjusted capitalization and favorable trend in underwriting performance over the past five years. The underwriting gains were achieved through continued pricing adjustments, a reduction in its operating expense ratio and the favorable experience of its current product offerings. As a result, the company was able to report positive earnings in fiscal years 2014 and 2015, in contrast to the operating losses reported in earlier part of that five-year period. The ratings also reflect Accuro’s conservative investment portfolio and good business profile in New Zealand’s retail medical insurance sector.
