AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of A+ (Superior) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings (Long-Term ICR) of “aa” (Superior) of Allianz SE (Allianz) (Germany) and its rated subsidiaries. Concurrently, AM Best has affirmed the Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings (Long-Term IR) of the outstanding rated debt instruments issued by Allianz Finance II B.V. and guaranteed by Allianz. The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. (See below for a detailed listing of the companies and Long-Term IRs.)

The ratings reflect Allianz’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strongest, as well as its strong operating performance, very favourable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.

Allianz’s balance sheet strength is underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalisation, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), which is expected to remain at the strongest level for year-end 2025 and prospectively, supported by strong earnings generation and prudent capital management. Partial equity credit is given in the BCAR model to soft capital components, including hybrid debt and life contractual service margin and risk adjustment. The balance sheet strength assessment also benefits from the group’s robust asset-liability and liquidity management and prudent reserving practices, and factors in its financial leverage and coverage ratios. Financial flexibility is considered excellent due to the group’s proven access to capital markets.

Allianz’s strong operating performance assessment reflects its highly diversified earnings profile and track record of robust and relatively stable income. Allianz reported strong operating results in 2025, underpinned by solid returns from its diversified income streams, reflecting stringent underwriting discipline and effective expense management. AM Best expects the group’s technical performance to remain strong over the cycle.

Allianz is one of the world’s largest insurance groups, with superior diversification by geography and business lines, as well as leading positions in many developed and emerging markets, offering a complete range of life and non-life insurance solutions and asset management services. The organisation’s competitive position is supported by its scale, strong management capabilities and brand recognition.
