AM Best has affirmed the financial strength rating of A- and the long-term issuer credit rating of a- for R.V.I. Guaranty Co., Ltd. and R.V.I. America Insurance Company. The firm maintains a stable outlook amid growth in property and casualty reinsurance.
Why it matters
The affirmation reflects the company's strong balance sheet and active risk management processes. However, the rating profile remains constrained by the inherent product risks associated with residual value insurance.
RVI successfully achieved a combined ratio below the 100% threshold during the 2025 fiscal year. The company also expanded its operations into the United Kingdom passenger vehicle market during this period.
