Fitch Upgrades Echo Re’s IFS to ‘A’; Outlook Stable

Fitch Ratings – Frankfurt am Main – 18 Jul 2024: Fitch Ratings has upgraded Swiss reinsurer EchoRückversicherungs-AG’s (Echo Re) Insurer Financial Strength (IFS) Rating to ‘A’ (Strong) from ‘A-‘(Strong). The Outlook is Stable.
The upgrade reflects an improvement in Fitch’s assessment of Echo Re’s standalone credit quality to’bbb+’ from ‘bbb’ on the back of a more seasoned business profile and sustained improvement inunderwriting profitability.
The rating reflects Echo Re’s ownership by DEVK Deutsche Eisenbahn Versicherung Sach- und HUK-Versicherungsverein a.G. Betriebliche Sozialeinrichtung der Deutschen Bahn (DEVK; IFS A+/Stable),which results in a two-notch uplift to Echo Re’s standalone credit quality, which in turn mirrors thecompany’s strong capitalisation and its improved company profile and financial performance.

Echo Rueckversicherungs AG Upgraded To ‘A’ On Improved Underwriting Performance https://echore.com/echo-rueckversicherungs-ag-upgraded-to-a-on-improved-underwriting-performance/ Wed, 03 Jul 2024 09:52:33 +0000 https://echore.com/?p=3652

Zurich, 28.06.2024
Echo Rueckversicherungs AG Upgraded To ‘A’ On Improved Underwriting Performance; Outlook Stable.

Overview

  • Swiss reinsurer Echo Rueckversicherungs AG (Echo Re) has continued to build a track record of a more solid and sustainable underwriting and operating performance, which was consistent with that of higher-rated peers in 2023.
  • We expect the performance will be sustainable and in line with that of global reinsurance peers over 2024-2026.
  • We therefore raised our long-term issuer credit and financial strength ratings on Echo Re to ‘A’ from ‘A-‘. We also revised Echo Re’s business risk profile to satisfactory from fair.
  • The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Echo Re will expand its business franchise while preserving satisfactory profitability and solid capital and earnings. It also incorporates our view that the company will remain strategically important to its parent DEVK Insurance Group (DEVK, A+/Stable/–) and benefit from financial and liquidity support if necessary.

Rating Action

On June 28, 2024, S&P Global Ratings raised its long-term issuer credit and financial strength ratings on Echo Re to ‘A’ from ‘A-‘. The outlook is stable.
