This was due to the uncertainty regarding Cowen Re\u2019s future ownership, given that AM Best did not expect the company to form a part of Toronto-Dominion Bank\u2019s (TD Bank) long-term plans. Additionally, the negative implications status reflects the uncertainty regarding Cowen Re\u2019s strategic plans and the negative trend on its business profile, which puts the company under expense strain. Cowen Re\u2019s five-year weighted average combined ratio (2021-2025) stood at 127.5% (as calculated by AM Best).<\/p><p>\nThe resolution of TD Bank\u2019s plans for Cowen Re has taken longer than AM Best originally expected. The ratings will remain under review with negative implications until AM Best has gained certainty regarding the company\u2019s long-term ownership and business plans.<\/p><p>\n<b>This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best\u2019s website.
