KBRA Assigns BBB+ IFSR to Olympus Insurance Company

KBRA assigns a BBB+ insurance financial strength rating (IFSR) to Olympus Insurance Company. The Outlook is Stable.

Olympus Insurance Company (OIC) is a property/casualty insurer domiciled in Florida specializing in homeowners’ insurance solely in the state of Florida. The company focuses on homeowners with higher financial responsibility scores and new homes with newer roofs for its HO-3 policies. Olympus also writes fire and allied lines as well as a small portion of inland marine policies. Olympus Insurance Company’s IFSR reflects the company’s sound profitability and risk adjusted capitalization, strong financial flexibility provided by its parent company, Gemini Financial Holding Corporation (GHFC), conservative investment portfolio, experienced management team with targeted underwriting strategy, and well-established distribution system through independent agents.

OIC has a sound reinsurance structure. However, KBRA notes that the reinsurance market may be challenging going forward and it may be difficult to obtain the coverage and terms that fully meet OIC’s preferences for risk transfer.

Partially offsetting these positive credit factors is OIC’s exposure to event risk, geographic and earnings concentration, significant dependence on reinsurance, and elevated underwriting leverage.
