SB 406 Insurance companies; permitted investments in foreign securities.
Introduced by: Stephen D. Newman | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Insurance companies; permitted investments in foreign securities. Increases the portion of a domestic insurer's total admitted assets that may be invested in permitted securities of a foreign country from 10 to 15 percent. The measure also increases the aggregate amount of securities of a single foreign country in which a domestic insurer may invest from 3 percent to 5 percent of the insurer's admitted assets if the foreign jurisdiction has a sovereign debt rating of SVO 1. If the foreign jurisdiction's sovereign debt rating is not SVO 1, the maximum amount of its securities in which the insurer may invest remains 3 percent. Finally, the measure allows investments in securities of foreign jurisdictions to be payable in currencies of foreign countries if the investment is effectively hedged, substantially in its entirety, against U.S. currency. This bill is identical to HB 466.
