Rationale

The ratings on Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance Co. Ltd. (ADI; A+/Stable/A-1) reflect its position as a core operating entity of MS&AD Insurance Group and a very strong competitive position supported by affiliations with Toyota Motor Corp (AA-/Negative/A-1+) and Nippon Life Insurance Co. (A+/Stable/--). At the same time, the ratings are restrained by its weaker profitability than its international peers and the vulnerability of its capital to stock price fluctuations, as well as continued difficulties in the domestic business environment, such as limited growth potential and intense competition.
