Contacts

KBRA affirms the insurance financial strength ratings (IFSR) of AA+ for Assured Guaranty Inc. (AG), Assured Guaranty UK Limited (AGUK), and Assured Guaranty (Europe) SA (AGE). The Outlooks for all entities remain Stable. At the same time, KBRA affirms the A+ issuer rating for Assured Guaranty US Holdings Inc. (AGUS) as well as the A+ debt ratings on the 6.125% Senior Notes due 2028, the 3.150% Senior Notes due 2031, and the 3.600% Senior Notes due 2051. The Outlooks remain Stable.

The rating affirmations reflect AG’s strong capital position and substantial claims-paying resources. The company’s high-quality insured portfolio, robust capital position relative to KBRA modeled stress losses, and experienced management team support its ability to navigate through credit cycles. The 2024 merger of AGM into AG has enhanced operational efficiency, and the company continues to originate new business across public finance, infrastructure, and structured finance markets. AGUK and AGE benefit from robust intra-group financial support agreements, which remain key to their ratings.
