Financial Size Category (FSC)
AM Best assigns each rated (A++ through D) insurance company a Financial Size Category (FSC). The FSC is based on adjusted policyholders' surplus (PHS) in U.S. dollars and may be impacted by foreign currency fluctuations.
The FSC is designed to provide a convenient indicator of the size of a company in terms of its statutory surplus and related accounts.
