Fitch also affirmed on Wednesday the AA-plus insurer financial strength ratings of all the Winnipeg, Canada, company's subsidiaries.

The insurer's ratings strengths included significant business diversification, with a focus on lower-risk product design, and consistently robust earnings performance, according to Fitch. Great-West's financial strength was the result of the effective management of key drivers, including expense management and pricing discipline, the ratings agency said.
