Ratings Assigned to Wisconsin’s JM Specialty Insurance

February 26, 2018

A.M. Best has assigned a Financial Strength Rating of A+ (Superior) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “aa-” to JM Specialty Insurance Co. (JMSI) in Neenah, Wisconsin. The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

These ratings recognize the implementation of a 100 percent quota share reinsurance agreement between JMSI and its lead company, Jewelers Mutual Insurance Co. (JMIC).

JMSI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JM Holdings Inc., which is wholly owned by JMIC. Collectively, these companies are known as Jewelers Mutual Group (the group). The ratings reflect the group’s balance sheet strength, which A.M. Best categorizes as strongest, as well as its strong operating performance, favorable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM).

The group offers risk management and insurance products and services to the jewelry industry in the United States and Canada. Coverage is provided to individuals as well as commercial businesses by way of retailers, repair shops, custom jewelry designers, appraisers, wholesalers and manufacturers. JMSI was formed to expand the insurance product offerings and associated operational capabilities of the group.

In addition to providing substantial reinsurance support to JMSI, JMIC will provide the company with ERM direction and administrative and managerial support.
