Fitch Ratings has affirmed its “A” (Strong) Insurer Financial Strength ratings for The Doctors Company, part of TDC Group. The outlook of these ratings remains “Stable.”

Fitch cited The Doctors Company’s very strong capital position, stable underwriting performance, favorable loss reserve development, and conservative investment portfolio as key factors supporting the ratings. Fitch also stated that the company’s acquisition of ProAssurance Corporation is consistent with its long-term operating strategy and further strengthens its scale and position as a leading medical professional liability insurer. The Doctors Company has maintained a combined ratio below 100 percent for four consecutive years.

Fitch affirmed the Insurer Financial Strength ratings for the following:

• The Doctors Company, an Interinsurance Exchange
• The Doctors Company Risk Retention Group, a Reciprocal Exchange
• TDC National Assurance Company
• TDC Specialty Insurance Company

“The Fitch ratings reflect the financial strength, stability, and disciplined approach that have long defined The Doctors Company,” said Marco Vanderlaan, chief financial officer, The Doctors Company and TDC Group. “Our strong capital position and long-term financial strategy ensure we have the resources to protect our members today and well into the future as we advance, protect, and reward the practice of good medicine.”
