OLDWICK, N.J. - (Business Wire) A.M. Best Co. has affirmed the financial strength rating of B+ (Good) and issuer credit rating of “bbb-” of Brokers National Life Assurance Company (Brokers National) (Sherwood, AR). The outlook for both ratings is stable. Brokers National is a wholly owned subsidiary of BNL Financial Corporation (Des Moines, IA). The rating affirmations reflect Brokers National’s maintenance of profitable operating results during difficult economic times while competing in a very competitive dental insurance market. The company’s operating gains have been the primary contributor to its capital growth. Brokers National has continued to focus its efforts on increasing production and distribution through new partnerships. A.M. Best notes the vast majority of the company’s revenue is generated from a single line of business. Historically, BNL Financial Corporation has been dependent on dividend payments from Brokers National to help service previous debt retirement, repurchase of company stock and funding general corporate expenses.
