Lahore, January 22, 2018 (PPI-OT):The rating reflects Jubilee General’s robust risk management framework facilitating the company in sustaining sound underwriting performance. The rating recognizes the management’s persistent efforts of penetrating relatively untapped segments, also reflected in its diverse premium mix compared to peers. Jubilee General has sound equity base and sufficient liquidity engendering strong risk absorption capacity. The company’s efforts for improving the overall quality of control environment are bearing fruits.
The ability of key sponsor, Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), to foster synergies amongst its financial institutions operating in Pakistan – HBL, Jubilee General, and Jubilee Life – and in the group’s different insurance companies across the globe, is also a consideration. The business strategy, going forward, is focused on improving its market position through increasing retail penetration and focusing motor and health insurance; benefiting from synergies with HBL. Jubilee is eyeing high business opportunities for future with the advent of CPEC projects and improved economic dynamics of the country. The rating is dependent upon sustained competitiveness of the company with improvement in underwriting profitability. Sustaining the market share is crucial.
