GBU is thrilled to announce a significant achievement that underscores our commitment to financial security.

On July 11, 2024, AM Best, the oldest credit rating agency, reaffirmed our Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and upgraded our outlook from stable to positive.

This recognition from AM Best reflects GBU’s dedication to providing the highest level of financial stability and peace of mind for everyone who chooses to trust us with their financial investments.

Our journey has been characterized by strategic expansion across different regions, diversification of our product offerings and strengthening of our overall market presence—all aimed at enhancing the financial well-being of those who trust us to do so. Our significant growth in total assets, capital and surplus, membership count and distribution channels illustrate our commitment to enhancing our services and ensuring the security and growth of all investments entrusted to us.

Central to our success is our strong balance sheet, supported by rigorous risk management practices and conservative strategies for reserving funds. These measures not only safeguard investments but also provide a solid foundation for sustainable growth and stability. Our robust operational performance, marked by above-average investment yields and rapid net premium growth, further underscores our ability to deliver on our commitments.
