"AA" | An insurer rated "AA" has VERY STRONG financial security characteristics, differing only lightly from those rated higher. |
"A" | An insurer rated "A" has STRONG financial security characteristics, but is somewhat more ikely to be affected by adverse business conditions than are insurers with higher ratings. |
"BBB" | An insurer rated "BBB" has GOOD financial security characteristics, but is more likely to be affected by adverse business conditions than are higher rated insurers. |
"BB" | An insurer rated "BB" has MARGINAL financial security characteristics. Positive attributes exist, but adverse business conditions could lead to insufficient ability to meet financial commitments. |
"B" | An insurer rated "B" has WEAK financial security characteristics. Adverse business onditions will likely impair its ability to meet financial commitments. |
"CCC" | An insurer rated "CCC" has VERY WEAK financial security characteristics, and is dependent on favourable business conditions to meet financial commitments. |

Outlook
Outlooks are carried on Counterparty Credit and Insurer Financial Strength Ratings, although not on hort-term, debt, "pi" and Financial Enhancement ratings do not. An Outlook normally indicates the likely direction of the rating over the next 18 – 24 months. A positive Outlook indicates the possibility of the rating being raised, while a negative Outlook implies the possibility of a downgrade. In both cases, the reasons underlying the view are explained in the published "Ratings Rationale", together with an indication of the specific circumstances that would likely precipitate the potential rating change. Outlooks can also be stable, indicating the rating is expected to stay the same.
