OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#insurance<\/a>--AM Best <\/b>has upgraded the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) to A (Excellent) from A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating (Long-Term ICR) to \u201ca\u201d (Excellent) from \u201ca-\u201d (Excellent) of Hamilton Select Insurance Inc. (Hamilton Select) (Wilmington, DE). Concurrently. AM Best has affirmed the FSR of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term ICR of \u201ca\u201d (Excellent) of Hamilton Re, Ltd. (Pembroke, Bermuda) and Hamilton Insurance Designated Activity Company (Dublin, Ireland). All companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. (collectively referred to as Hamilton). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nHamilton\u2019s ratings reflect the group\u2019s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM).<\/p>

\nThe very strong balance sheet strength assessment is supported by Hamilton\u2019s strongest level of risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best\u2019s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). Recent strategic shifts that have been executed by Hamilton, including a transition toward a more-diversified underwriting portfolio, have helped the group achieve underwriting profitability. Hamilton\u2019s balance sheet strength assessment also reflects its relatively high-risk investment strategy on the portion of invested assets managed by Two Sigma Investments, LP, a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission-registered investment adviser.<\/p>

\nThe operating performance assessment of adequate is supported by Hamilton\u2019s historical investment returns and underwriting results, which have trended favorably over the past five years as the group achieved underwriting profitability in 2023, continuing through the first quarter of 2026. Underwriting improvements have stemmed from the group\u2019s diversification efforts and the favorable rate environment, as well as the re-underwriting measures across the business.<\/p>

\nThe business profile assessment of neutral is supported by Hamilton\u2019s continued expansion of its diversified global insurance and reinsurance platform. Risk management capabilities are considered appropriate and in line with the group\u2019s risk profile.<\/p>

\nThe rating upgrades of Hamilton Select are driven by recent enhancements of the explicit support provided by Hamilton, which includes a stop-loss agreement, a 75% quota share reinsurance agreement net of third-party reinsurance, and a material net worth maintenance agreement. The ratings further reflect Hamilton Select\u2019s strategic importance to Hamilton, and the parent\u2019s common ownership and management, as well as implicit and explicit support.<\/p>

\nHamilton Select is a specialty insurer, launched in 2022, focusing on small and middle market U.S. excess and surplus lines accounts. The company has not reported an underwriting profit to date, though it has shown continued underwriting improvement year-over-year on a gross basis.<\/p>
