Fitch Ratings studies Title Underwriters Risk Capital
Fitch Ratings completed a study on the U.S. title insurance industry’s risk-adjusted capital position at year-end 2007. The study showed a significant decrease in the risk-adjusted capital (RAC) for the title insurer world. The title industry’s risk-adjusted capital ratio is the lowest since Fitch began calculating the RAC Model in 1997.
