Financial Rating

A.M. Best offers a financial rating of A+ for Prudential, but the long term rating is aa-, which indicates some unease about the company over time. Prudential holds as much as $100 billion in assets. They are a stable investment now and show the potential for moderate growth over the long term. For the policy holder, this means that Prudential is not likely to suffer insurmountable losses, even in the event of a major disaster.
