Demotech, Inc. Assigns Financial Stability Rating® of A, Exceptional, to Mountain Life Insurance Company

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Demotech, Inc. has assigned a Financial Stability Rating^® (FSR) of A, Exceptional, to Mountain Life Insurance Company. Our FSR summarizes our opinion of Mountain Life Insurance Company's financial stability, as measured by our perspective on their current balance sheet strength, previous and anticipated operating experience, breadth, depth and scope of management's experience, as well as the Company's business model. 

According to Joseph L. Petrelli, ACAS, ASA, MAAA, MBA, President and Co-founder, Demotech: "The belief that 'bigger is better' led to the slippery slope of 'too big to fail.' Mountain Life Insurance Company is right-sized and has the requisite management talent to execute its business model effectively. By adhering to their strategic and tactical plan, the Company seems well-positioned to sustain its FSR of A. The Company is well-positioned to sustain the rigor and conservatism of statutory insurance accounting associated with growing new business and expanding its operations."

"We are honored to receive this recognition from Demotech," said Jeffrey Breeze, President, Mountain Life Insurance Company. "This rating underscores our commitment to maintaining financial strength, disciplined management, and long-term stability for our policyholders and partners."
