AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings (Long-Term ICR) “bbb+” (Good) of Rockingham Insurance Company and its pooled affiliates: Rockingham Casualty Company and Rockingham Specialty, Inc. The outlook of the FSR is stable while the outlook of the Long-Term ICR is negative. All companies are domiciled in Harrisonburg, VA, and collectively are referred to as Rockingham Group. Concurrently, AM Best has withdrawn these Credit Ratings (ratings) as the company has requested to no longer participate in AM Best’s interactive rating process. This serves as AM Best’s final rating update.

These ratings reflect Rockingham Group’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as its marginal operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.
