OREANDA-NEWS. The National Rating Agency has assigned its 'BB' reliability rating to Strakhovye Investitsii LLC.

The rating is supported by the company's ten years' experience of operating in the Republic of Bashkortostan's insurance market, growing capitalization and strong solvency and liquidity metrics.

These strengths are offset by the insurer's negative premium growth, small market share, high receivables level (43% as of July 1, 2014), rising debt leverage, low investment portfolio diversification and limited geographic presence.
