Massachusetts Mutual Life Ins MA 1851 A.M. Best Company Rating A++ (1) Superior. Assigned to companies that have, in our opinion, a superior ability to meet their ongoing obligations to Standard & Poor's Financial Strength Rating AA+ (2) An insurer rated 'AA' has VERY STRONG financial security characteristics, differing only slightly from those rated higher. Moody's Financial Strength Rating Aa2 (3) Insurance companies rated Aa offer excellent financial security. Together with the Aaa group, they constitute what are generally known as high-grade companies. They are rated lower than Aaa companies because long-term risks appear somewhat larger. Fitch Ratings' Insurer Financial Strength Rating AA+ (2) Very strong. 'AA' IFS ratings denote a very low expectation of ceased or interrupted payments. They indicate very strong capacity to meet policyholder and contract obligations. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events. Weiss Safety Rating A- (3). The company offers excellent financial security. It has maintained a conservative stance in its investment strategies, business operations and underwriting commitments. While the financial position of any company is subject to change, we believe that this company has the resources necessary to deal with severe economic conditions.

However, certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Fitch Ratings' Insurer Financial Strength Rating BBB (9).
