AM Best Co has affirmed the financial strength rating of A- (Excellent) and issuer credit rating of “a-” of the captive reinsurer for The Dow Chemical Company, saying the outlook for both is stable.
The agency said the ratings for Michigan-domiciled Dorinco Reinsurance Company recognize its strong risk-adjusted capitalization, strategic relationship with the parent and balanced risk profile.
AM Best added that the risk profile of Dorinco remains diversified through the short-tail nature of its unrelated third party business and the longer-tail exposure associated with the Dow business.
Partially offsetting the positive rating factors are the challenges faced by its ultimate parent, which has recently completed a sizeable acquisition and has been progressing towards restructuring its credit profile.
If Dow’s credit profile weakens, said AM Best, it could put pressure on the ratings of Dorinco.

WELCOME TO THE Captive Review Cell Company Handbook 2009 – the second edition of our global directory of cell company jurisdictions. Since we last published this directory, the general attitude toward cell companies seems to have shifted up a gear. Whereas single-parent companies have long ruled the captive roost, a slight uptick in the formation of pure captives at the beginning of this year can’t hide the fact that growth in this market is still sluggish.
