AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb+” (Good) for Popular Life Re (PLRe), a life insurance subsidiary of Popular, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPOP). The ratings outlook is stable, reflecting PLRe's very strong balance sheet strength and adequate operating performance. However, the weak credit profile of its parent company negatively impacts PLRe's ratings.
