(Closed)"},"content":{"rendered":"

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#insurance<\/a>--AM Best<\/b> has assigned the Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of \u201cbbb+\u201d (Good) to Enaya Insurance Company K.S.C. (Closed) (Enaya) (Kuwait). The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nThe ratings reflect Enaya\u2019s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as its strong operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM).<\/p>

\nEnaya\u2019s balance sheet strength is underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalisation assessed at the strongest level, as measured by Best\u2019s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). The balance sheet strength assessment is supported by Enaya\u2019s conservative investment strategy, with its portfolio consisting entirely of cash and deposits. An offsetting rating factor is the elevated counterparty credit risk stemming from Enaya\u2019s low underwriting retention, although this is mitigated partially by the use of a reinsurance panel of excellent credit quality. In addition, the company has elevated exposure to an intercompany loan and receivables, which together composed 77% of capital and surplus in 2025.<\/p>

\nEnaya has a track record of strong operating performance, demonstrated by a return-on-equity ratio of 16% in 2025. Earnings are supported by robust technical results, with a combined ratio of 92% on a net\/net basis reported for 2025. Results have been complemented by modest investment performance, reflecting the conservative nature of the portfolio.<\/p>

\nEnaya is owned by the Alghanim group, a multifaceted conglomerate primarily operating mainly within the Middle East. Enaya holds an established position within its domestic insurance market of Kuwait, where it benefits from its long-standing relationships and access to business from the group\u2019s enterprises. The company\u2019s portfolio is concentrated by line of business and geography, with the majority consisting of medical and motor insurance in Kuwait.<\/p>
