AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of Ol? Insurance Group Corp I.I.

BY Business Wire | CORPORATE | 10/30/25 01:26 PM EDT

MEXICO CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of ?bbb? (Good) of Ol? Insurance Group Corp I.I. (Ol? Insurance) (San Juan, Puerto Rico). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

The ratings reflect Ol? Insurance?s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.

The ratings also reflect the group?s strongest level of risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best?s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), prudent investment practices and its innovative business model. Conversely, Ol? Insurance is subject to volatility derived from its relatively recent start of operations, expansion risk and sensitivity to changes in the evolution of its business plan.

Ol? Insurance, along with the sister company, Ol? Management Corp., is ultimately owned by Amedex Assurance Company and subsidiaries (Amedex), a group domiciled in Delaware.

Ol? Insurance specializes in term life insurance and began operations in 2019 as Amedex Assurance Corp I.I. The company is licensed as a Class 5 International Insurer. Geographically, as of June 2025, gross premiums are mainly distributed in Latin America: Mexico (23%), Ecuador (20%), Chile (12%) and the remainder (45%) in 17 other countries.

The group?s operation is supported by automated systems and specialized personnel equipped with digital tools to assist prospective clients; the group also uses background checks and technological tools to analyze the profiles of its clients. Some applications are automatically approved and do not require medical examinations.

Overall, the group?s balance sheet is very strong, but it is subject to volatility derived from its net business portfolio of distribution and growth.

As of June 2025, the group?s earned premiums stood at USD 2.9 million, although technical income and year-end results were negative, mainly driven by management expenses. Prudent underwriting practices are a key driver that could influence future operating results, while simultaneously achieving the premium growth necessary to absorb its administrative expenses.

Negative rating actions could occur from an unfavorable development of the group's business strategy, reflected by insufficient revenues to cover ongoing operational expenses, or if the group's risk-adjusted capitalization deteriorates to a level no longer supportive of the current ratings as a result of capital base erosion. Although unlikely, factors that could lead to positive rating actions include the continued growth of the group?s capital base in the medium term, supportive of its current level of risk-adjusted capitalization, and successful consolidation of its business strategy.

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.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
