OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#insurance<\/a>--AM Best <\/b>has placed under review with developing implications the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of \u201ca-\u201d (Excellent) of Sandbox Mutual Insurance Company (Sandbox) (Saskatoon, SK).<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nThe under review with developing implications status of these Credit Ratings (ratings) reflects a decline in Sandbox\u2019s risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best\u2019s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), and pressure on the company\u2019s balance sheet strength assessment driven by the company\u2019s strong growth in recent years. This growth has been driven in large part through managing general agent (MGA) partnerships, as well as organic growth in Sandbox\u2019s own book of business, as the company executes its business plan. AM Best notes that Sandbox is in the process of finalizing a reinsurance arrangement that is expected to improve capitalization and provide capital relief. The ratings will remain under review pending AM Best\u2019s evaluation and analysis of management\u2019s initiatives to ensure capitalization and overall balance sheet strength remain appropriately assessed.<\/p>
