§1155. Diversification

Investments of an insurer shall be subject to the following diversification requirements and limitations.   [PL 1987, c. 399, §14 (NEW).]
1.  Real estate; personal property; equity interests; subsidiaries.  Not more than 40% of the insurer's assets in aggregate amount may consist of investments described in the following paragraphs:  
A. Real estate, section 1156, subsection 2, paragraph D, subparagraph (1);   [PL 1987, c. 399, §14 (NEW).]
B. Personal property, section 1156, subsection 2, paragraph E;   [PL 1987, c. 399, §14 (NEW).]
C. Equity interests, section 1156, subsection 2, paragraph F; and   [PL 1987, c. 399, §14 (NEW).]
D. Subsidiaries, section 1157, except as provided in that section.   [PL 1987, c. 399, §14 (NEW).]
If, on or after the effective date of this subsection, the insurer makes investments of those types in institutions or property located within the State aggregating 1% or more of its assets, the 40% limitation in this subsection must be increased by an equal amount up to 45%, exclusive of those investments in institutions or property located within the State, thus providing for a maximum limit on the investments described in those paragraphs of 50% of the insurer's assets.  
[PL 2023, c. 59, §3 (AMD).]
2.  Counter-party limitations.  Except as otherwise expressly provided, an insurer may not invest in or may not incur counter-party exposure to any one person if, after giving effect to those investments and that counter-party exposure, the aggregate of those investments in and that counter-party exposure to that person would exceed 10% of the insurer's admitted assets, with the following exceptions:  
A. Government obligations pursuant to section 1156, subsection 2, paragraph A;   [PL 2001, c. 524, §3 (AMD).]
B. Policy loans pursuant to section 1158; and   [PL 2001, c. 524, §3 (AMD).]

[PL 2023, c. 59, §3 (AMD).]
3.  Other investment limitations.  Other investment limitations are as provided in particular sections of this chapter.
