Fitch 2016 White Paper
Key Conclusion A lsquoAndashrsquo Insurer Financial Strength Rating from AM Best Is Most Comparable with a
lsquoBBBrsquo IFS Rating from Fitch (as well as SampP and Moodyrsquos)

applicable currency equivalent) per issue In certain cases Fitch will rate all or a number of issues
issued by a particular issuer or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor for a single
annual fee Such fees are expected to vary from US$10000 to US$1500000 (or the applicable
currency equivalent) The assignment publication or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not

work product of Fitch and no individual or group of individuals is solely responsible for a rating or a
report The rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk unless such risk
is specifically mentioned Fitch is not engaged in the offer or sale of any security All Fitch reports

responsible for the opinions stated therein The individuals are named for contact purposes only A

applicable currency equivalent) per issue In certain cases Fitch will rate all or a number of issues

annual fee Such fees are expected to vary from US$10000 to US$1500000 (or the applicable
