A.M. Best Rating for Qatar Islamic Insurance

 

February 07, 2017

 

A.M. Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “BBB+” of Qatar Islamic Insurance Company Q.S.C. (QIIC) (Qatar). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

The ratings reflect QIIC’s track record of excellent operating performance, adequate combined risk-adjusted capitalization (considering both shareholders’ and policyholders’ funds), and niche business profile as a successful takaful provider in the Qatar insurance market. Offsetting rating factors include limited enterprise risk management and a high concentration of illiquid assets within its investment portfolio.
