The TheStreet.com Safety Ratings are the most reliable source for evaluating an insurer’s financial solvency risk. Consequently, policyholders have come to rely on TheStreet.com’s flagship publication, TheStreet.com Ratings Guide to Life, Health & Annuity Insurers, to help them identify the safest companies to do business with.

Each easy-to-use edition delivers TheStreet.com’s independent ratings and analyses on more than 1,100 insurers, updated every quarter. Plus, your patrons will find a complete list of TheStreet.com Recommended Companies, including contact information, and the reasoning behind any rating upgrades or downgrades.

This guide is perfect for those who are considering the purchase of a life insurance policy, placing money in an annuity, or advising clients about insurance and annuities. A life or health insurance policy or annuity is only as secure as the insurance company issuing it. Therefore, make sure your patrons have what they need to periodically monitor the financial condition of the companies with whom they have an investment at risk. The TheStreet.com Ratings product line is designed to help them in their evaluation.

TheStreet.com Ratings Guides

TheStreet.com’s rating scale is extremely straightforward and easy to understand. There are no complicated number grades to interpret, no colored paper to decode, and no stars to count. Instead, each entry gets a simple, intuitive letter grade that immediately identifies the wheat from the chaff. This is one more reason why TheStreet.com Ratings is widely recognized as "America's Consumer Advocate for Financial Safety." The TheStreet.com Safety Ratings have been proven to be the most accurate available from any of the major rating agencies. Plus, unlike the other major rating agencies, TheStreet.com does not accept compensation from the companies it rates, and thus does not allow companies to influence the ratings they receive or to suppress the release of their ratings. In fact, the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) validated TheStreet.com’s accuracy in its Insurance Ratings study, and that same superior rating methodology is used when deriving all other ratings as well.
