According to Joseph Petrelli, President, Demotech, Inc., "Each member of the group has a strong balance sheet that is protected by an enterprise risk management program that is consistent with the book of business, underwriting appetite, and the reinsurance program of the insurer. Recognizing that near-term operating results may not have met their expectations, appropriate remediation has been implemented. Having its original formation in 1869, this is a carrier that has been addressing the needs of policyholders, claimants, regulators, reinsurers and producers for 155 years. Few carriers have been able to address the multitude of economic situations that have occurred since 1869.
