A.M. Best Co. has upgraded the financial strength rating and the issuer credit rating (ICR) of Aspen Insurance Limited (AIL) (Bermuda).


The rating upgrades reflect a sustainable improvement in AIL's stand alone risk-adjusted capitalisation, which is likely to be supported by strong retained earnings of above USD 150 million in both 2007 and 2008.
