International ratings agency Standard & Poor's (S&P) has assigned its A-minus ratings to Sampo Insurance Company and Sampo Industrial Insurance Company, the non-life subsidiaries of Finnish insurer Sampo.
S&P also put the long-term counterparty credit and insurer financial strength ratings on CreditWatch with positive implications.
The agency said the two companies' strong capitalisation, their leading market positions in Finland, and their improving earnings outlooks supported the ratings.
It added that those factors were offset by their concentrated dependence on the small, mature Finnish non-life market and their relatively aggressive, equity-orientated, long-term investment strategies.
The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
