Effective February 7, 2013, SeaBright Insurance Company (“Seabright”), a Seattle-based insurance company specializing in workers compensation, entered into run-off. In 2012, Enstar Group Limited (“Enstar”), a run-off specialist, purchased SeaBright. SeaBright continues to manage existing claims but no longer writes new or renewal business, which means that premium activity has slowed down. In 2015, a major change occurred when all of SeaBright’s net liabilities (i.e. loss reserves associated with its prior workers comp business) were shifted to an Enstar affiliate, Clarendon National Insurance Company, through a reinsurance agreement. Circumstances that led the company to run-off: SeaBright was placed into run-off driven by weakened underwriting performance associated with reserve strengthening actions for accident years 2007 through 2009, primarily related to increasing medical cost trends. Additionally, SeaBright was facing marketplace challenges associated with its geographic and coverage lines expansion. Seabright has had to deal with significant pressure from its workers comp book developing adversely year-over-year and having to liquidate investments to satisfy claims and expenses. The reinsurance contract with Clarendon did provide major relief but SeaBright still remains a going concern and without premiums coming in and asset base rapidly shrinking, its solvency status as an insurance company remains questionable. The key now is to track the level of credit risk
Shorewest’s private and family owned status was an important factor, based on the assumption it would provide a better culture and more opportunities, unfortunately, when conducting a financial analysis of the company based on common measurement criteria, privately owned has drawbacks. Shorewest is not required to generate or share publicly, annual reports, normally where financial and market data is typically available. Without easily assessible financial data, it is hard to measure profitability, however, the data available does demonstrate a track record of home sales and agent recruiting. Growth and resiliency appear to be a strong competency, the company survived the housing crash with diversified service offerings in their mortgage, title and insurance divisions. Creation of their home services division in 2011, designed to coordinate moving and utility transfer activities, shows courage and innovation. This service was discontinued in August, which also demonstrates sound measurement and financial decision making, many companies are slow to cut the cord when a product or service is not performing to plan. Even without specific financial data, there is solid evidence to support adequate financial efficacy and long-range planning.

Your credit score represents your creditworthiness. When you borrow money, your lender sends detailed information to the credit bureau, to create a credit report that analyzes how well you handle your debts. This number can determine everything from the interest rate on your mortgage or auto loan, to whether you’ll be approved for a credit card, to whether you can rent an apartment. The Fair Isaac Corporation (better known as FICO) is the most widely used credit rating agency in the US. This formula calculates your financial habits into a single three-digit FICO score ranging from 300 to 850.

Risk management, wealth accumulation, wealth preservation and distribution are some of the major needs that Northwestern Mutual offers to the public with many specializations.
