The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (Pacra) has assigned the Insurer Financial Strength (IFS) rating of "A" (Single A) to Adamjee Life Assurance Company Limited (ALAC). The rating denotes ALAC's strong capacity to meet policyholder and contract obligations. At the same time, risk factors are moderate, and the impact or any adverse business and economic factors is expected to be limited.
The rating reflects Adamjee life's association with financially sound business groups - Nishat and Hollard. The rating recognises the company's ability to establish itself in life insurance sector.
The capacity emanates from its recognised brand - Adamjee - and established business relationships and extensive outreach of its group companies - MCB Bank and Adamjee Insurance that would help the company in developing its business. As the company is in its nascent stage, its ability to build strong internal controls, requisite IT infrastructure, efficient systems and procedures, and sound business policies would be critical.-PR
