AM BEST AFFIRMS CREDIT RATINGS OF GUILD INSURANCE LIMITED
SINGAPORE, Feb 25 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a-” of Guild Insurance Limited (GIL) (Australia). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.
The ratings reflect GIL’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best categorizes as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM).
GIL’s balance sheet strength is underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalization, which AM Best expects to remain at the strongest level over the medium term, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). AM Best also views GIL as having a conservative investment strategy and a prudent reserving approach. While the company’s underwriting portfolio includes exposure to some medium-to-long tail liability products, the company maintains a buffer in held reserves notably above the regulatory imposed minimum, and has a track record of adequate reserving. Other balance sheet factors include the company’s modest absolute capital base and its limited financial flexibility given its ultimate ownership by a not-for-profit organization.
AM Best views GIL’s operating performance as adequate, as evidenced by a five-year average return on equity ratio of 6% (fiscal years 2014 to 2018). GIL’s combined ratio historically has been maintained at approximately 100%, reflecting a favorable loss ratio albeit offset by an elevated expense ratio when compared with the industry average. Overall earnings in the past five years remain supported by robust and generally stable investment returns.
GIL’s business profile is viewed as neutral. While the company is a small insurer in Australia’s non-life sector, with a market share of gross premiums below 1% in 2018, GIL is a leading provider of insurance protection to allied health professional associations. The company’s presence in this segment is supported by its direct access to members of its parent; The Pharmacy Guild of Australia, a national employers’ organization representing community pharmacies across Australia.
The company’s ERM is viewed as appropriate given the size and complexity of GIL’s operations.
Ratings are communicated to rated entities prior to publication. Unless stated otherwise, the ratings were not amended subsequent to that communication.

For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see AM Best’s Recent Rating Activity web page.

ULTRA-PRECISION CAM SOFTWARE ADVANCES OPTICAL DETERMINISTIC CAPABILITIES
SWANZEY, N.H., Jan 30 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Moore Nanotechnology Systems (“Nanotech”), a leading global supplier of ultra-precision machining systems, has released their next generation NanoCAM®4 software package with capabilities beyond any competing product on the market today.
Nanotech’s latest product release has been years in the making and there is nothing like it in the industry. Incredibly comprehensive, yet easy to use, NanoCAM4® (N4) brings an accuracy & programming functionality that has been absent from the ultra-precision optical market. Mark Boomgarden, Nanotech’s President and CEO, said, “We are excited to announce this very important milestone in our product offerings. With the release of NanoCAM4, our customers are able to design and directly transfer their complex optical surfaces seamlessly to Nanotech’s machine tools.” He continued, “Our engineering teams have worked for almost 3-years, and have invested over 20,000 man-hours, in the design, development and testing of this NanoCAM4 package.” Nanotech partnered with lead customers, technology institutions and software providers during the development cycle - providing opportunities to make incremental changes prior to the release. All previous CAM packages are viewed as “acceptable” for various programming needs, but they all have inherent weaknesses - often requiring intervention by third-party software to complete the task. In other cases, they simply do not have the capability or functionality to program many of the very complicated and diverse optical-machining configurations required in today’s market.
