BI, Litmus Partner on Composite Insurer Ratings

Business Insurance has partnered with Litmus Analysis to publish a composite rating table for North American commercial‑line insurers. Litmus uses its proprietary Litmus Composite Score (LCS) to blend A.M. Best, Fitch, Moody’s and S&P ratings into a single numerical outcome, then maps that outcome back to a common rating scale with higher, middle, or lower positions. The collaboration will later expand to Europe, Bermuda and global reinsurance, with Litmus adding rating‑related commentary to each release. Litmus clarifies it does not issue its own ratings, only aggregates publicly available agency opinions.
