August 21, 2014

ATLANTA — The more things change, the more they stay the same. That adage is a perfect summary of why Ward Group named Assurant Solutions to its 2014 Property-Casualty 50 Top Performers list, marking the eighth consecutive year Assurant has achieved this distinction.

“Our ability to anticipate and adapt to market changes and meet the evolving needs of consumers has been a primary driver of our long-term success,” said Jeff Unterreiner, senior vice president at Assurant Solutions. “That, in conjunction with sound operating and risk management procedures, is why Assurant Solutions is a top performing company year in and year out.”

Ward Group analyzes 3,000 property-casualty insurance companies in the U.S. annually, and identifies the top 50 performers based on safety, consistency and performance measures over the previous five years. Evaluation metrics include return on equity, return on assets, total revenue, revenue growth and combined ratio.

Beyond the 50 Top Performers list, Assurant’s financial strength also is recognized by A.M. Best, S&P and Moody’s, all of which give Assurant an excellent “A” financial strength rating.
