Douglas A. Powell, Senior Financial Analyst, states "Rated Title underwriters have withstood extremely unfavorable economic conditions in recent years. In 2012, Title underwriters aggregately reported net income reminiscent of the pre-economic crisis years. During the trying times of the past several years, they have maintained adequate levels of policyholders' surplus while increasing premiums written."
FSRs are a leading indicator of the financial stability of Title underwriters and present Demotech's opinion of the ability of the insurer to meet its insurance related obligations based upon our assessment of financial information. FSRs are not an endorsement of any particular insurer or its products. Insureds and agents need to independently evaluate their relationship with a particular insurer as well as the applicability of that insurer's products to the needs of the insured or agent.
