A.M. Best Data: Clean. Complete. Accurate.

1. No data provider can equal the accuracy, scope or value of information from A.M. Best. We collect quarterly and annual statement data from more than 6,000 companies -- Property/Casualty and Life/Health companies, HMOs, alternative market entities and others -- and perform exhaustive tests and cross-checks for accuracy.
2. Historical information is presented in 'as is' format, meaning it reflects today's ownership structures. Each company is identified in a way that allows us to track its development through changes in ownership or structure.
3. Financial information for groups and major industry segments are presented in consolidated format, information that is not available elsewhere.
4. Many of our publications include qualitative analysis of insurance company and industry performance, as well as unique, value-added indicators such as Best's Credit Ratings and Profitability, Leverage and Liquidity ratios.
