American Marconi Wireless News - Moody’s Assigns First-Time Insurance Financial Strength Ratings to Freedom Insurance and Freedom Life

The Baa3 rating makes Freedom Life the first company within Freedom Holding Corp. to receive an investment-grade rating from Moody’s. The agency began expanding its coverage of Freedom earlier this year, assigning a Ba3 rating to Freedom Bank Kazakhstan in March.

“Moody’s ratings for our insurance companies confirm that within the Freedom ecosystem we can support not only the rapid growth of the ecosystem as a whole, but also the development of each individual business. We see significant potential in combining traditional insurance products with modern technology. This allows us to offer the market more effective solutions, reduce our own costs and launch unique products,” said Timur Turlov, CEO of Freedom Holding Corp.

Moody’s highlights Freedom Insurance’s market position, asset quality, conservative investment strategy and capital adequacy among its key strengths. The company ranked third in Kazakhstan’s non-life insurance market by gross written premiums in 2025, with a market share of around 10%. Approximately 90% of its invested assets were held in fixed-income instruments.

Freedom Life is among Kazakhstan’s three largest life insurers and held approximately 20% of the market by premiums in 2025. Moody’s points to the company’s asset quality, capitalization and profitability as key strengths.

Moody’s also points to the insurers’ integration into the wider Freedom Holding Corp. ecosystem as a factor supporting their market positions. The shared brand, cross-selling opportunities and Freedom SuperApp help both companies reach customers across the ecosystem. By March 2026, the SuperApp had surpassed 5 million registered users.
