Standard & Poor’s confirms Talanx ratings
In the rating report, published last Friday, Standard & Poor’s underlines TPG’s “strong competitive position”, a “strong capitalization” and – for the first time – a “strong enterprise risk management” as the major supporting rating factors. The rating agency has thus upgraded TPG’s risk management from „adequate“ to „strong“. Herbert K. Haas, Chief Executive Officer of Talanx AG, said: "We are particularly proud that Standard & Poor’s considers our risk management now as strong. This assessment reflects the progress we have made in developing our internal capital model and implementing a group-wide risk management framework.”
With regard to TPG’s stable rating outlook Standard & Poor’s notes the expectation that the group “will defend and further foster its competitive strength”, based on its organic and acquisitive growth in 2012. The full Standard & Poor’s rating report is available on our Investor Relations website.
