LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#insurance<\/a>--AM Best<\/b> has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of \u201ca\u201d (Excellent) of Jacana Re Limited (Jacana Re) (Guernsey). Jacana Re is a subsidiary of BHL Holdings Limited (BHL), a non-operating holding company. The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nThe ratings reflect Jacana Re\u2019s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. In addition, the ratings consider, in the form of lift, Jacana Re\u2019s strategic importance to its parent company, BHL, as the group\u2019s internal reinsurer.<\/p>

\nJacana Re\u2019s balance sheet strength is underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalisation, which is expected to remain comfortably at the strongest level, as measured by Best\u2019s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). The balance sheet strength assessment also considers the company\u2019s conservative investment portfolio and excellent liquidity. An offsetting factor in the assessment is Jacana Re\u2019s exposure to catastrophe risk mainly emanating from Australia and South Africa.<\/p>

\nJacana Re has a track record of strong operating performance, underpinned by a consistent track record of robust underwriting results. In financial year (FY) 2025, the company reported a net-net combined ratio of 71.7% and a return on equity of 23.9%, as calculated by AM Best, which is in line with its five-year averages.<\/p>

\nUnderwriting performance is subject to potential volatility, in particular from natural catastrophe perils; in FY 2026, underwriting profits are expected to reduce following catastrophe losses in Australia. Investment income makes a modest contribution to overall earnings.<\/p>

\nThe risks underwritten by Jacana Re stem from South Africa, Australia and Singapore. The entity is used by BHL as a risk management tool, retaining 100% of risks ceded by insurance companies of the BHL group and its ultimate shareholders. Jacana Re\u2019s business profile assessment is constrained somewhat by its geographic concentration of premium volume and lines of business underwritten.<\/p>
