A.M. Best Rating of A-

The Wisconsin County Mutual Insurance Corporation recently received an A.M. Best Company Rating of A- (excellent) for 2002.

The rating reflects the County Mutual's "excellent capitalization, historically favorable operating profitability and solid liquidity." In addition, the company stated that the A- rating factor was reflective of conservative underwriting and investing philosophies.

Other contributing factors to the positive rating from A.M. Best were "the company's commitment to loss control and risk management."

The County Mutual's high rating was also due in part to diversifying its risks with the Wisconsin County Mutual's Municipal Liability Program, first dollar and excess workers' compensation insurance, and the Owner Direct Insurance Program (ODIP) for county construction projects.
