From the supplier: Speakers at a seminar on a National Underwriter/Business Strategy Network-sponsored seminar on insurance company rating said that securities rating agencies are factoring in qualitative variables other than insurers' financial results when rating the claims-paying ability of insurance companies. Insurance companies must promote good relations with securities rating agencies since poor relations may result in lower ratings. Insurance company executives must be cordial during the meetings, particularly when receiving unsolicited and unwanted managerial advice from rating agency personnel.
