AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of OneMain Holdings, Inc.?s Insurance Subsidiaries

BY Business Wire | CORPORATE | 03/28/25 11:15 AM EDT

OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings of ?bbb? (Good) of American Health and Life Insurance Company (AHLIC) and Triton Insurance Company (Triton) (both domiciled in Fort Worth, TX). Both companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of OneMain Holdings, Inc. (OMF) [NYSE: OMF] (headquartered in Evansville, IN). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

The ratings of AHLIC reflect its balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM). The ratings of AHLIC also reflect drag from the parent company, OneMain (OMF), a consumer finance company, which has considerable financial leverage within AM Best?s measurement. AHLIC and Triton are dependent on OneMain (OMF) as a primary distribution source, and both insurance companies continue to have significant concentration in credit insurance products. AHLIC also provides term life insurance, which adds some diversity to its relatively narrow portfolio of products. AHLIC continues to maintain the strongest level of risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best?s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), and generates consistent, favorable operating performance relative to peers and industry benchmarks.

The ratings of Triton reflect its balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate ERM. Triton?s ratings also reflect drag from OneMain (OMF). Triton maintains the strongest level of risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by BCAR, and has reported strong operating results in recent years.

In addition, AM Best considers AHLIC and Triton?s financial constraints in terms of dividends in the ratings, as these constraints may stress risk-adjusted capitalization in the future. Both companies continued to pay dividends in 2024, while managing target capital levels.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
