Essent Group Ltd 's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
The competitive landscape includes mental and quasi-governmental agencies such as the FHA and VA that provide mortgage insurance. Private mortgage insurers face limited competition from state-sponsored mortgage insurance funds in states including California and New York. The industry also competes with products such as piggyback loans and investors willing to hold credit risk without credit enhancement. In reinsurance, competition varies by product and geography, with approximately 25 unique (re)insurers regularly participating in credit risk transfer (CRT) transactions. In the title insurance and settlement services industry, competitors include Fidelity National Financial, Inc., First American Financial Corporation, Old Republic International Corporation, and Stewart Title Guaranty Company, along with smaller title insurance operations and numerous agency operations. Regulatory changes may affect competition by potentially introducing new competitors such as diversified financial services companies with greater financial resources. Financial strength ratings from A.M. Best, S&P, and Moody’s are important to competitive positioning in insurance and reinsurance.
