Financial Ratings   Financial History
A.M. Best's Rating - B++ (Very Good), Class IV. Outlook Stable
The Financial Performance Section says in part: Peachtree Casualty's operating results have been fairly consistent over the past five years, as evidenced by pre-tax returns on revenue. The company has generated positive operating returns in each of the past five years, mainly driven by favorable underwriting results in most years. Over the near term, A.M. Best believes the company's operating results should continue to benefit from management's disciplined underwriting approach and conservative investment strategy.

The company has benefited from favorable loss experience as reflected by a loss ratio that is below the industry composite. This level of consistency was attributable to rate increases, tightened underwriting standards and more selective producer appointments.

Demotech, Inc. – A, Exceptional – “Regardless of the severity of a general economic downturn or a deterioration in the insurance cycle, insurers earning a Financial Stability Rating ® of "A" possess Exceptional financial stability related to withstanding a general economic downturn or deterioration of an underwriting cycle.”
