Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c87153) has announced the
addition of BUPA Health Assurance - Company Profile & Financial
Strength Report to their offering.

Background

In the UK, financial advisers are required to consider the
financial strength of organisations with whom they deal. Analysts and
others also need information on which to assess life assurance
companies.

These Company Profile & Financial Strength Reports are designed to
meet the information needs of advisers and analysts alike. The reports
cover a broad spectrum of long term insurers operating in the UK, with
particular emphasis on those operating in the intermediary market. The
reports encompass both life companies and friendly societies.

Each report contains key information from a range of sources such
as a company's returns to the FSA, its report & accounts and material
provided by the companies themselves to facilitate business or
competitor intelligence needs. The data is supplemented by expert
independent assessment in the form of focussed ratings and the
authority of the reports is amplified by regular meetings and
communications with AKG.

This FULL report contains detailed analysis of all relevant
aspects of the company's long-term business operations, together with
a comprehensive set of AKG ratings -

-- Overall Financial Strength Ratings
