Lately, there has been another piece of good news for an insurance company among the many bleak accounts as A.M. Best Co. resolved not to change the financial strength evaluation of BMO Life Assurance Company (BMO Life) and the rating stays at at an “A”, i.e., “Excellent”. BMO Life’s issuer credit rating also remained at an “a”. Even better, the outlooks for BMO Life were assessed as stable, taking into account the Company's annual statements and information available on Bank of Montreal and BMO Life.
BMO Life is an institution owned by Bank of Montreal (BMO). BMO Life is one of multiple insurers under BMO, but is an important one for that matter, serving specific portions of the insurance market. Hence, analysts are sure of BMO supporting BMO Life in the midst of any contingent future financial shortages. During the financial crisis shake-up, BMO Life was significantly bruised in the havoc within the overserved marketplace and may need a cooling off period to recover from all the monetary and reputational hammering.
BMO can offer a large variety of insurance policies, ranging from individual life insurance through universal life , term life, whole life, critical illness, guaranteed issue life insurance to structured settlements and annuities. BMO's policy mix is somewhat unique and thus attractive to several subsets of the insurance clientele. That may well be considered its core strength. AIG Life built the actual agent network through which BMO Life now sells its insurance products.
In 2009, Bank of Montreal bought AIG Life Insurance Company of Canada. The business was transferred under a new brand of BMO Life Assurance Company, although its essential business approach remained basically unaltered. Analysts taken this acquisition well, because AIG Life/BMO Life now has a large and established parent supporting it.
The BMO group has another insurer, which is BMO Life Insurance. This entity is detached from BMO Life Assurance Company, has its own network of agents and history, but exists within the same group. You can learn more about BMO Life Assurance Company here.
