↑ 4%US and Bermuda reinsurers recorded their fifth consecutive year of underwriting profitability in 2025, maintaining a 16.8% return on equity despite market softening, according to AM Best's latest report. The composite of seven major reinsurance groups — including Arch Capital, Everest Group, and RenaissanceRe — saw gross premium growth slow to less than 1.0% in 2025, down from 11.7% in 2024. Strong performance was supported by higher net investment income from sustained elevated interest rates. The composite's combined ratio deteriorated to 90.2 in 2025 from 88.5 in 2024. AM Best expects muted top-line growth in 2026 due to accelerating rate decreases in property reinsurance and slowing price improvements in US casualty lines. First-half 2026 results remained solid amid low catastrophe activity, though full-year performance depends on the Atlantic hurricane season.

Asia-Pacific reinsurance companies posted a 4.0% increase in net insurance service revenue in 2025, reversing a previous year's decline, according to AM Best's latest market report. The growth was driven primarily by overseas business. The composite's combined ratio increased slightly to 92.0% in 2025, supported by improved rate adequacy and relatively benign catastrophe activity across Asia. Overseas portfolios proved attractive to Asia-Pacific reinsurers due to higher concentrations of non-proportional treaties, allowing them to benefit from favourable pricing conditions. The planned 2027 merger of Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance and Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance in Japan may intensify competition among reinsurers, as the combined entity will likely require less reinsurance capacity. Asia's 2026 renewal period proved buyer-friendly, with abundant capacity and falling rates enabling cedents to enhance protection whilst maintaining stable retention levels.
AM Best has assigned an A- (Excellent) Financial Strength Rating and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of "a-" (Excellent) to Talcott Life & Annuity Re, Ltd., a Cayman Islands-based reinsurer. The outlook is stable. The ratings reflect TLAR's very strong balance sheet strength, adequate operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. The company's risk-adjusted capitalisation stands at the strongest level across all measured confidence intervals. TLAR contributes approximately 25% of parent company Talcott Financial Group's total operating earnings, roughly $173 million. Net investment income reached $1.031 billion in the recent period. The company focuses on products tied to interest rates, including universal life policies, payout annuities and fixed deferred annuities. In January 2026, TLAR converted into a segregated portfolio company to enable multi-territory risk assumption.
AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) and Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings of "a+" (Excellent) for Highmark Inc. and its life/health subsidiaries. The ratings agency also affirmed the same ratings for Highmark's dental subsidiaries operating under the United Concordia brand name. The ratings reflect Highmark's strongest balance sheet strength and adequate operating performance. Although the company faced volatility in recent years due to industry-wide utilisation and pharmacy trends, management initiatives implemented in 2026 have resulted in improved performance through the first two quarters. In April 2026, Highmark affiliated with Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Kansas City, expanding its geographic market. At year-end 2025, Highmark reported more than $32 billion in revenue, with over 80% derived from insurance operations.
