SCHEDULE I. Section 59A-5-16 NMSA 1978
Please be advised that NMSA 1978 Section 59A-5-16 Schedule I sets out minimum capital and surplus as well as deposits. The surplus required of any company applying for a Certificate of Authority before the Office of Superintendent of Insurance (OSI) is based upon the financial review, business plan and projections of the company as well as other documentation provided in their application. Generally, the OSI would look for the amount of capital that comparable licensed insurance companies have that write the premium volume for the line(s) of insurance being proposed and projected by the applying company. The OSI also looks for supported projections to keep RBC above 300% as this amount is considered the bare minimum.
