Financial strength rating: A- by S&P Global Rating, 25 May 2022
Outlook: Negative
Standard & Poor's has affirmed The Swedish Club to "A-" (negative outlook).
Overview
- Sveriges Angfartygs Assurans Forening's (The Swedish Club) technical performance was under pressure in 2020, and we expect it to be significantly below our forecasts for the full year 2021.
- We anticipate that the club will post technical losses this year that will likely erode the excess capital it currently holds above the 'AAA' confidence level in our risk-based model.
- We are therefore revising our outlook on The Swedish Club to negative and affirming our 'A-' ratings.
- The negative outlook indicates the possibility of a downgrade if the club's technical performance remains lower than we expect in our base case, reducing the company's risk-based capital adequacy.
