Just as the dust of recapitalization was settling down, Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc submitted itself to a thorough solvency and liquidity examination to ascertain the level of its capacity in the industry. At the end of the exercise, the company was rated A- by the international rating agency, the Global Credit Rating, GCR, in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively.
The considerations for the rating were based on the high claims paying ability, the good mix of business across the risk classes, high profile of the multinational oil and downstream clients, increased underwriting capacity strengthened by the new capital base and geographical spread of the branches.
Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc continues to be the lead underwriter for most of the major oil and gas projects in Nigeria.
