2020 Summary of Insurance Business in Nebraska

Although the NDOI does not rate the financial condition of insurance companies, there are many private rating services that conduct financial analysis and grade insurance companies. Each rating service uses its own criteria. Private ratings are only opinions and carry no guarantee of accuracy. However, such ratings can provide you with some information about how private analysts view the financial condition of particular insurance companies. 

Listed below are five rating services that can provide rating information on insurance companies:

• A.M. Best
• Demotech, Inc.
• Fitch
• Moody's
• Standard & Poor's

As insurance companies have expanded their global presence, it has become necessary to have an established framework for the supervision of insurance groups that have a large international presence. This framework allows for effective group-wide supervision across varying global jurisdictions. 

Pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. § 44-2154, the director may determine whether or not an insurance holding company system is an international insurance group based on established criteria. 

Additionally, pursuant to the criteria defined in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 44-2155, the Director of the Nebraska Department of Insurance must appoint an appropriate group-wide supervisor for an international insurance group. 

Nebraska's Supervision of Internationally Active Insurance Groups

The internationally active insurance groups where Nebraska is the group-wide supervisor are as follows:

Holding Company Name	Effective Date
Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.	January 2020
Pacific Mutual Holding Company	February 2023
