(MENAFN- PR Newswire)

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Demotech, Inc. has assigned a financial Stability Rating® (FSR) of A, Exceptional, to Mangrove Property Insurance Company. The Company will be participating in a take-out of Citizens Property Insurance Corporation policies that meet its current selection criteria.

According to Demotech's President and Co-founder, Joseph L. Petrelli, "Demotech, Inc.'s initial activity in Florida commenced thirty years ago with the need to review and rate insurers formed to depopulate the Florida Residential Property Casualty Joint Underwriting Association. Today, we continue to assist financially stable insurers countrywide by assigning Financial Stability Ratings® (FSRs) based, in part, upon business model, execution of the business model, and the complementary nature of a carrier's reinsurance program."

Demotech Vice President and Co-founder, Sharon Romano Petrelli, notes: "Demotech is proud to be the rating agency of choice for eight of the ten insurers recently licensed by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. The capability, expertise, and experience of our rating analysts, honed by three decades of reviews of carriers focused on Florida, has made Demotech the 'go-to' insurer ratings agency for carriers writing in catastrophe prone areas."

Romano added, "The name of the Company encompasses its intent to feature and focus on resiliency. Mangroves are trees and shrubs that grow in tropical coastal areas. They are capable of flourishing as well as surviving in salty, low-oxygen soil, despite being periodically submerged by tides. The Company expects hurricanes from time to time and wants to help its policyholders flourish and survive. Their name reflects their mission."

Demotech assigns FSRs of A, Exceptional, to insurers that possess exceptional financial stability related to maintaining positive surplus as regards policyholders, high liquidity of invested assets, an acceptable level of financial leverage, reasonable loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, and realistic pricing. Mangrove has convinced the Office of Insurance Regulation that it has these capabilities, among others.
