AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of A++ (Superior) and Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings (ICR) of "aa+" (Superior) for The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) and its main subsidiaries.
The rating agency maintained a stable outlook for the insurer, citing its strongest balance sheet strength assessment and very strong operating performance. The affirmation covers Travelers Group, including key subsidiary Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America (TCSA).
Rating Rationale
AM Best’s assessment highlights Travelers’ strongest level of risk-adjusted capitalization as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). The agency noted consistent favorable loss reserve development trends, a conservative investment portfolio, and comprehensive reinsurance programs as key supports for the balance sheet strength rating.
The group’s very strong operating performance reflects sustained underwriting and operating profitability over the long term. In 2025, Travelers reported $4.1 billion in net underwriting income, marking the largest such figure in its history.
| Metric | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Net Underwriting Income | $4.1 billion | Record high in 2025 |
| Total Net Income | $6.5 billion | Includes investment income |
Underwriting results combined with investment income resulted in total net income of $6.5 billion for the year.
Market Position
Travelers maintains strong market positions as the fifth largest property/casualty (P/C) insurer in the United States based on 2025 direct premiums written. It ranks as the seventh largest personal lines writer and the second largest commercial lines writer per AM Best data.
The group offers wide variety of P/C coverages across all 50 US states, the District of Columbia, Canada, England, Ireland, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Subsidiary Ratings
AM Best affirmed the FSR of A- (Excellent) and Long-Term ICR of "a-" (Excellent) for First Floridian Auto and Home Insurance Company. This rating reflects First Floridian’s very strong balance sheet strength and marginal operating performance, alongside implicit support from its ultimate parent, TRV.
Additionally, AM Best affirmed the Long-Term ICRs and existing Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings of "a+" (Excellent) for TRV and its wholly owned downstream holding companies, Travelers Property Casualty Corp. and Travelers Insurance Group Holdings Inc. All outstanding securities issued by these downstream holding companies are guaranteed by TRV.
