ATIC Financials

We formed American Traditions Insurance Company with longevity and financial solvency in mind. We have maintained a slow and steady growth that has provided a build-up of capital and financial strength. This business strategy has led to a preservation of assets which will continue to be our priority into the future. Funds collected from our customers are invested in the highest quality corporate bonds, municipal bonds and mortgage backed securities. The portfolio strategy minimizes volatility in the market place and maximizes liquidity. A high level of liquidity ensures that cash will be available to pay losses should they occur. Our Company carefully invests in high quality securities.

Florida is an unpredictable state. We’ve addressed this through continuously running models of our risks and carefully designing a reinsurance program tailored to the homes and mobile homes we insure. In the event of a hurricane, the majority of our losses are covered by the reinsurance we purchase from companies around the world. Our reinsurance program is based on relationships in London and Bermuda that have developed over many years through trust and confidence. We've designed a program that considers both the severity of a particular storm as well as the possibility of multiple storms in one year. In any given storm our retention (i.e. deductible) is less than 10% of our surplus. As seen in the list below, we spread the risk between multiple reinsurers and only purchase coverage from the highest quality companies in the world. We also purchase a portion of our overall reinsurance from the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund.

KBRA Company Rating

NEW YORK (December 20, 2022) – KBRA assigns a BBB insurance financial strength rating (IFSR) to American Traditions
Insurance Company. The Outlook is Stable.

American Traditions Insurance Company is a property/casualty insurer domiciled in Florida specializing in personal lines
insurance exclusively within the state. The company offers a variety of products but predominantly writes within the niche manufactured housing segment as well as the traditional homeowners (HO-3) market. The insurance financial strength rating (IFSR) reflects an experienced management team with a focused strategy, consistent profitability at the managing general agent affiliate which enhances financial flexibility and operational stability at American Traditions, a conservative asset portfolio with low investment risk, a strong liquidity and asset-liability profile, and a strong local market presence with a well-established distribution network.

Balancing these strengths are the company’s geographic and earnings concentration which necessitates a dependence on reinsurance and exposes it to event risk, moderately weak to adequate risk-based capitalization, and elevated premium leverage. Further, recent losses across the last five years have been driven by natural catastrophes and elevated storm frequency, though the company has revamped exposure management tools, tightened underwriting guidelines, and implemented rate increases, which KBRA views favorably.
