GLENVIEW, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For the fourth consecutive year, Combined Insurance, has made Ward’s 50, a list of top performing insurance companies that have achieved outstanding results in the areas of safety, consistency and financial performance over a five year period.

Each year, the Ward Group, a leading provider of benchmarking and best practices studies for insurance companies, analyzes nearly 800 U.S.-based life-health insurance companies to identify the top performers. Each company must pass all safety and consistency tests and achieve superior performance over the five years analyzed to be awarded the Ward’s 50 Seal and be named to the top 50 list.

“It’s truly an honor when our commitment to put our customers first earns us this kind of industry recognition from such a respected organization as the Ward Group,” said Brad Bennett, president of Combined Insurance. “Being named to Ward’s 50 top performing life-health insurance companies underscores the value that Combined Insurance brings to its policyholders as we continue to meet their growing coverage needs.”

Combined Insurance also recently received a financial strength rating upgrade to A+ (superior) from A.M. Best, on one of the world’s top insurance rating and information firms. This reflects the benefit Combined Insurance receives as members of the ACE Limited organization, its consolidated financial strength, operating profile, and established niche in the middle-income market for supplemental individual accident and health products.
