Concurrently, AM Best has assigned an FSR of A+ (Superior) and a Long-Term ICR of “aa-” (Superior) to Greater Mid-Atlantic Indemnity Company (Mid-Atlantic) (New York, NY). The outlooks assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) are stable.

The ratings of Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic reflect their balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strongest, as well as their strong level of operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. The ratings of the pooled members of Greater NY Mutual are being extended to Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic given the explicit support provided through this pooling arrangement. The operations of Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic are fully integrated with Greater NY Mutual’s other pooled members.
