Section Ins 6.72 - Risk limitations

(1) Except as otherwise provided by law or by order of the commissioner, no single risk assumed by any insurance company shall exceed 10% of surplus as regards policyholders, except that in an assessable mutual company it may be a greater amount not exceeding 3 times the average policy or 1/4 of 1% of the insurance in force, whichever is the greater. Upon the business mentioned in s. Ins 6.75(2) (h), the maximum single risk may be a greater amount not exceeding 50% of the admitted assets. Any reinsurance taking effect simultaneously with the policy shall be deducted from the original risk assumed in determining compliance with this subsection.

(2) In a mutual company organized for the insurance or guaranty of depositors or deposits in banks or trust companies, the maximum single risk may be fixed at a higher amount by the bylaws. Any such company may effect reinsurance in any authorized or unauthorized company that complies with s. 627.23, Stats. Insurance in any unauthorized company shall be reported annually and the same taxes paid upon the premiums as are paid by authorized companies.
