AM Best has assigned a Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a-” (Excellent) to Fidelity Security Assurance Company (Fidelity Assurance) (Kansas City, MO). The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

The ratings reflect Fidelity Assurance’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile, appropriate enterprise risk management, and one notch of lift.

Fidelity Assurance is a property/casualty (P/C) professional liability insurance company with a program for educators. The company grew out of a desire for increased synergies and diversification with its affiliated company, Fidelity Security Life Insurance Company and Forrest T. Jones Co./FTJ Consulting Co, which is a national third-party administrator and broker. The company is expected to have modest growth as it executes its plan including exploring other ancillary P/C lines of business with similar synergies. Fidelity Assurance is expected to rely on its parent for services as it expands its business profile and future reinsurance. Additionally, it is expected that the parent company will aid in maintaining Fidelity Assurance’s risk-adjusted capital if needed.
