MSIG Singapore to maintain footing from parent support: S&P Global

S&P Global Ratings said the insurer will remain highly strategic.

MSIG Insurance Singapore is forecasted to have a stable outlook, with expected continuous support for the next two years from its parent, Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance (MSI).

“We also continue to view MSIG Singapore as a highly strategic subsidiary of MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings Inc., resulting in likely group support,” said S&P Global Ratings in a press release.

The insurer’s financial strength rating reflects the support MSI, which provides the company a form of a guarantee on its insurance policy obligations. The ratings agency therefore equalises its rating on MSIG Singapore with that on MSI.

MSIG Singapore was also perceived to underpin the group’s regional growth efforts and has been consistent in delivering P&C returns in Singapore.

More traits that seem to benefit MS&AD Insurance Group are MSIG Singapore’s contributions and sustained focus on local business.

Thus, the rating agency expects the insurer to keep its position as one of the top-performing P&C insurers by gross written premiums in the country.
