COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Grange Insurance Company continues to be a financially strong and innovative company, according to A.M. Best, a global credit rating agency that specializes in the insurance industry.

A.M. Best reaffirmed Grange's financial strength rating (FSR) of "A" (Excellent) and upgraded its outlook to positive from stable for all its property and casualty companies and affiliates. The FSR is the most crucial component of A.M. Best's rating because it indicates a carrier's ability to pay its policyholders' future claims.

In addition, Grange's Issuer Credit Rating (ICR) remains an "a+" (Excellent), and the outlook was also upgraded to positive from stable. This rating indicates that Grange has an excellent ability to meet ongoing senior financial obligations and places Grange among a top tier of insurance companies across the United States.

In their review, A.M. Best's rating referenced Grange's strong balance sheet and sustained improvement in underwriting and operating performance, including underwriting metrics that outperformed its peer group in recent years. Combined with growing investment income, this improvement has resulted in continued organic growth in surplus.

A.M. Best also provided their assessment of Grange's innovation capabilities. It rated it as "Prominent" for the second consecutive year. In previous analysis across their rating universe, a "Prominent" assessment placed a company in the top 10% versus companies reviewed.
