Erika\u2019s results have been underpinned by robust and stable underwriting margins, with the company recording a technical surplus in each year since 2006.<\/p><p>Erika is the primary provider of travel insurance to people travelling worldwide on the various international education programmes offered by Education First (EF). All business is sourced solely from EF tour operators, which limits Erika\u2019s control over distribution and growth. Erika\u2019s limited business profile assessment also reflects its relatively small portfolio, concentrated within one line of business. However, the risks associated with this concentration are mitigated partially by the company\u2019s geographic diversification and relatively low product risk.<\/p><p><b>This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best\u2019s website.
