KBRA Affirms Assured Guaranty鈥檚 AA+ Insurance Financial Strength Ratings with Stable Outlook

HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Assured Guaranty Ltd. (NYSE: AGO) (together with its subsidiaries, Assured Guaranty) announced that Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC (KBRA) has affirmed the AA+ insurance financial strength ratings of Assured Guaranty Inc. (AG) and its insurance subsidiaries, Assured Guaranty UK Limited (AGUK) and Assured Guaranty (Europe) SA (AGE). All the ratings have Stable Outlooks.

In its August surveillance report affirming the AA+ ratings of AG, AGUK and AGE, KBRA cited:

• 鈥淎G鈥檚 rating reflects its substantial claims-paying resources, strong risk management platform, and leadership position in the financial guaranty market.鈥�
• 鈥淎G maintains a robust capital position, with claims-paying resources that provide meaningful protection against KBRA鈥檚 modeled stress-case loss scenarios.鈥�
• 鈥淭he merger of Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. (AGM) into AG in 2024 has simplified the organizational structure and improved capital and regulatory efficiency.鈥�
• 鈥淎G鈥檚 conservative investment approach, experienced management team, and diversified business platform support its ability to manage through credit cycles.鈥�
• 鈥淢unicipal market insured penetration has increased and is currently at its highest levels since 2009.鈥�
• 鈥淎GUK and AGE are supported by a suite of intra-group financial arrangements with AG, including co-insurance, quota share and excess of loss reinsurance, as well as a net worth maintenance agreement. These agreements are key factors in KBRA鈥檚 financial strength ratings for both entities.鈥�

KBRA also stated that, 鈥淚n 2024, AG originated approximately $32 billion in gross par, its highest annual total in over a decade. Growth was led by strong U.S. municipal production and selective participation in international infrastructure and structured finance.鈥�

鈥淲e are pleased that KBRA has continued to affirm the AA+ (Stable Outlook) rating for AG and its insurance subsidiaries, AGUK and AGE, citing our robust capital position and strong claims-paying resources along with the company鈥檚 high-quality insured portfolio and experienced management team, which supports our ability to navigate through credit cycles,鈥� said Dominic Frederico, President and CEO of Assured Guaranty. 鈥淲e believe that Assured Guaranty鈥檚 success reflects the market鈥檚 appreciation of our consistent record of profitability, diversified business strategy, disciplined underwriting and pricing and the capital-generating power of our proven business model.鈥�
