Compa\u00f1\u00eda de Seguros Generales"},"content":{"rendered":"

MEXICO CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#insurance<\/a>--AM Best <\/b>has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of \u201cbbb\u201d (Good) of Nacional de Seguros S.A. Compa\u00f1\u00eda de Seguros Generales (Nacional de Seguros) (Bogota, Colombia). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nThe ratings reflect Nacional de Seguros\u2019 balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.<\/p>

\nThe ratings also reflect the company\u2019s strongest level of risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best\u2019s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), and the profitability Nacional de Seguros has achieved during its track record. Partially offsetting these positive rating factors is the size of the company, which limits business diversification given the inherent concentration risk, and its high dependence on reinsurance.<\/p>

\nNacional de Seguros began operations in 2014 after acquiring Ecoseguros S.A., a company in voluntary liquidation, with fulfillment and liability insurance licenses granted by the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia. Nacional de Seguros had less than a 2% market share in Colombia\u2019s property\/casualty segment, as of December 2025, and is the fourth-largest company in the fulfillment insurance sector with an 9.3% market share.<\/p>

\nNacional de Seguros\u2019 risk-adjusted capitalization stands at the strongest level, as measured by BCAR, and is supported by a comprehensive reinsurance program and its consistent historical profitability. Credit risk, driven by reinsurance recoverables, is the main factor that could impact the company\u2019s BCAR assessment.<\/p>

\nThe company\u2019s business operations are focused exclusively on Colombia: 75% of premiums are generated in Bogota; 15% from Medellin; and 5% from other cities.<\/p>

\nDespite reporting fluctuations in gross premium, the company has maintained a steady retention level, and constant profitability. Nacional de Seguros\u2019 underwriting metrics are characterized by contained loss ratios, and negative acquisition cost ratios due to its high ceding profile. The company\u2019s investment income has exhibited a stable trend in the past few years, moderately supporting Nacional de Seguros\u2019 income generation.<\/p>

\nAs of 2026, Nacional de Seguros is setting up a small operation focused exclusively on the surety business in Peru; AM Best will continue monitoring to ensure its development and capital requirements do not affect Nacional de Seguros\u2019 business in Colombia.<\/p>

\nNegative rating actions could occur as a result of material changes in operating performance trends, either as a result of losses or implementation risk of the business strategy, or if adverse development of the underwriting portfolio or significant dividends erode the company`s capital base and reduce risk-adjusted capitalization to a level that no longer supports the ratings. Although unlikely, positive rating actions could result from a successful consolidation of the company\u2019s business strategy, supported by prudent growth and underwriting practices.<\/p>
