Fitch Ratings affirmed the A- long-term issuer default rating of Birmingham, Ala.-based Protective Life Corp. and the A+ insurer financial strength ratings of its primary life insurance subsidiaries.
The subsidiaries are Protective Life Insurance Co., Protective Life and Annuity Insurance Co., West Coast Life Insurance Co. and MONY Life Insurance Co. The outlook is stable.
Fitch said Protective Life continues to perform within rating expectations. The agency also noted the company's "strong" position in the life insurance market, "strong" balance sheet fundamentals due to its "solid" risk-based capitalization, and above-average total leverage because of reserve funding arrangements.
Europe
Fitch affirmed the BBB+ insurer financial strength ratings of Italy-based Società Reale Mutua di Assicurazioni and core Spanish subsidiary Reale Seguros Generales SA with negative outlooks.
Fitch said the ratings are affected by Italy's sovereign rating of BBB with a negative outlook due to Reale Mutua's exposure to Italian-based debt securities. The agency also said the company enjoys "very strong" capitalization and a "strong" business profile.
