A Note from the AICP Gulf States Chapter Vice President, Rich Fidei

Above: Richard J. Fidei, Esq.
AICP Gulf States Chapter Vice President
AICP Members are advised that invoice payments for more than 1,600 insurers that own non-agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities ("RMBS") are due on December 18, 2009.
The RMBS initiative was approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") for the purpose of creating a new modeling and assessment process for non-agency RMBS for filing year 2009. This assessment process will assist state regulators in ultimately determining applicable risk-based capital requirements.
NAIC-approved assessments to pay for the project will be based on Schedule D information from December 31, 2008 Annual Statement filings of insurers that own non-agency RMBS. The total costs for the RMBS initiative are estimated at $4.6 million.
