Demotech’s rating affirmation was based on 2016 annual statutory and supplemental information provided. Typically, carriers provide the rating firm with standard financial data on both a quarterly and annual basis. In early February, Demotech issued a statement that guidance was suspended for Florida’s property insurers; the firm rates a total of 57 Florida carriers. Demotech has evaluated the state’s carriers since 2010 without significantly adjusting their rating requirements.
Tower Hill’s reaffirmed ratings are now available on the Demotech website.
