Asteron Life gets ratings boost
Fitch Ratings has boosted Asteron Life's Financial Strength Rating from 'A' to 'A+' following Nippon Life Insurance Company's global acquisition of Resolution Life.
The upgrade comes from the stronger backing Asteron Life now has as part of the Nippon Life Group. Fitch views all of Resolution Life's subsidiaries as "Very Important" to Nippon Life and believes the group has the ability and willingness to support its businesses globally.

Asteron Life chief executive Grant Willis said the company was pleased with Fitch's recognition of its financial position.
