A.M. Best Co. has placed under review with positive implications the financial strength rating of C++ (Marginal) and the issuer credit rating of “b+” of Atlantic Southern Insurance Company in Puerto Rico.
The under review status follows the announcement that Triple-S Vida Inc., a subsidiary of Triple-S Management Corp, has entered into an agreement to acquire ASICO.
“The positive implications reflect the expected benefits ASICO will receive from being a part of a larger organization with access to additional financial and managerial resources,” A.M. Best said.
