Standard & Poor's Credit Rating
A+

Highest Tier – Financial Strength

What Our A+ Rating Means for Your Coverage

The Standard & Poor's A+ designation is the highest attainable tier for insurance entities in our operating category. It is not a marketing claim – it is an independent assessment reviewed annually by one of the world's most rigorous financial analysis organizations.

For our clients, this rating carries concrete meaning: it reflects our demonstrated financial strength, long-term solvency, and our verified capacity to honor claims-paying obligations at any scale. When a policy is issued by Brokers & Insurance Company by J.D., that policy is backed by an institution whose financial standing has been independently validated year over year.

The annual review process examines capital adequacy, reserve sufficiency, reinsurance programs, operating performance, and management quality. An A+ rating signals that across each of these dimensions, we maintain institutional-grade standards. For clients in highly regulated sectors – pharmaceutical manufacturers, hospital systems, international logistics operators – this credential matters to your own compliance officers and boards.

Big Four Annual Audits

Our financial transparency is not a posture – it is an institutional discipline. Every fiscal year, an independent audit is conducted by one of the Big Four global accounting firms, rotated periodically to maintain objectivity and audit independence.

Annual audits are conducted by members of the Big Four (Deloitte, KPMG, Ernst & Young, and PwC, rotated on a scheduled basis). Full audited financial statements are available under NDA to prospective enterprise clients, providing the level of financial transparency that institutional decision-makers require before committing to long-term coverage arrangements.

Progressive Agent Certification

Certified Progressive Agent

The Progressive Agent Certification program is a rigorous verification process that evaluates agent financial stability, compliance history, client service capacity, and product knowledge. Certification is not automatic – it requires ongoing performance standards to maintain.

As a certified Progressive Agent, Brokers & Insurance Company by J.D. is formally recognized within the Progressive agent directory, providing institutional clients with an additional layer of third-party verification of our operating standards.

The certification is reviewed periodically and reflects our current standing in Progressive's national network – a network that upholds strict criteria for inclusion among its credentialed agents.

Verified Listing

Our active Progressive Agent certification can be independently verified through the official agent directory. This provides prospective clients with direct, third-party confirmation of our certified status.

International Compliance

Licensed Across 28 Countries

Operating across 28 jurisdictions requires more than a single regulatory approval. Each country in which we hold a license has been through a distinct regulatory process – local filings, capital adequacy demonstrations, fit-and-proper assessments of management, and compliance with jurisdiction-specific insurance code requirements.

Our licensing portfolio spans North America, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the Gulf Cooperation Council, Southeast Asia, and the Asia-Pacific region. Maintaining active licenses in these jurisdictions requires ongoing compliance filings, annual regulatory reporting, and adherence to local consumer protection and financial services standards.

For multinational clients whose exposure crosses multiple regulatory environments, this licensing depth means their policy can follow their operations – with the same institutional counterparty on both sides of every border.
