AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of Unum Group and Its Core U.S. Life/Health Subsidiaries
AM Best affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings of "a+" (Excellent) for Unum Group's core U.S. life/health subsidiaries, with Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings of "bbb+" (Good) affirmed on Unum Group and a stable outlook across all ratings.
The ratings reflect balance sheet strength assessed as strong, strong and diversified operating performance, a favorable business profile, and appropriate enterprise risk management, with the group maintaining the strongest level of risk-adjusted capitalization (BCAR) even though capital growth is partially constrained by dividend payments.
AM Best highlighted that Unum has substantially reduced its individual long-term care exposure and closed-block capital demands through reinsurance and management actions, while retaining a lower-risk group long-term care exposure; the agency will continue monitoring closed-block LTC reserve adequacy.
The affirmation also covers roughly a dozen listed senior and subordinated debt instruments at the holding company at "bbb+"/"bbb-" levels, confirming no change in Unum's credit standing rather than signaling an upgrade or downgrade.

UNM: 10-Q · periodic report
Unum Group reported net income of $488.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease from $524.7 million in the prior year, while diluted earnings per share rose to $3.01 from $2.97 driven by share repurchases. Total revenue increased 4.2% to $6.73 billion, supported by premium growth in the Unum US and Colonial Life segments, which offset lower net investment income and a strategic restructuring charge of $30.7 million.
The Closed Block segment continued to face pressure, reporting an adjusted operating loss of $220.7 million for the six-month period compared to a loss of $2.8 million in the prior year. Additionally, the company recorded net unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities of $2.1 billion, driven primarily by rising U.S. Treasury rates, though management stated it has no intent to sell these impaired securities.
In July 2026, Unum entered into a master transaction agreement with Fortitude Reinsurance Company Ltd. to reinsure approximately 28% of its Closed Block long-term care policies. The anticipated transaction, expected to close in 2026, involves the transfer of fixed maturity securities and cash with a fair value of approximately $5.66 billion.
