MSIG Singapore to maintain footing from parent support: S&P Global

S&P Global Ratings said the insurer will remain highly strategic.

MSIG Insurance Singapore is forecasted to have a stable outlook, with expected continuous support for the next two years from its parent, Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance (MSI).

“We also continue to view MSIG Singapore as a highly strategic subsidiary of MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings Inc., resulting in likely group support,” said S&P Global Ratings in a press release.

The insurer’s financial strength rating reflects the support MSI, which provides the company a form of a guarantee on its insurance policy obligations. The ratings agency therefore equalises its rating on MSIG Singapore with that on MSI.

MSIG Singapore was also perceived to underpin the group’s regional growth efforts and has been consistent in delivering P&C returns in Singapore.

More traits that seem to benefit MS&AD Insurance Group are MSIG Singapore’s contributions and sustained focus on local business.

Thus, the rating agency expects the insurer to keep its position as one of the top-performing P&C insurers by gross written premiums in the country.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers.

The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
