Although the pace has slowed in recent years, AM Best noted that its rated mutuals have seen NPW growth every year since 2010.
According to AM Best, the 10 largest rated mutuals accounted for approximately 72.0% of NPW in 2019, and the top 25, for nearly 83.0%.

Fewer severe weather-related events occurred in 2018 and 2019, which helped lead to an improvement in the mutual segment’s incurred loss ratio. The median policyholders’ surplus size of these fated companies is $169.0 million, and the median five-year average combined ratio is 97.5%, indicators of the overall health and stability of the organizations’ balance sheets.
