Section 38a-102c - Investments of admitted assets. Limitations(a) A domestic insurer may invest up to ten per cent of admitted assets per obligor in obligations (1) issued, assumed or guaranteed by any agency, political subdivision or instrumentality of any state which obligations are not general obligations thereof; and (2) issued, assumed or guaranteed by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the International Finance Corporation and any other agency or entity engaged in similar activities and in which the government of the United States participates.(b) A domestic insurer may invest up to five per cent of admitted assets in obligations of any single institution other than high yield obligations. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to obligations with a final maturity of one year or less from the date of acquisition.(c) A domestic insurer may invest up to one per cent of admitted assets in high yield obligations of any one institution and up to ten per cent of admitted assets in the aggregate in high yield obligations registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The commissioner may adopt regulations limiting the percentage of admitted assets that may be invested in high yield obligations not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.(d) A domestic insurer may invest in foreign obligations and investments (1) up to ten per cent of admitted assets in any exempted country, and (2) up to two per cent of admitted assets in any other foreign country and up to fifteen per cent of admitted assets in the aggregate in all such other foreign countries. The aggregate foreign obligations and investments shall not exceed thirty per cent of admitted assets. All such foreign obligations and investments made within the limitation of this subsection shall also be subject to the percentage limitations prescribed by subsections (a), (b), (c), (e) and (f) of this section as applicable to such investment class, but this subsection shall not apply to investments which otherwise constitute an ownership interest in a subsidiary or affiliate of the domestic insurer. In addition to the foregoing, a domestic insurer transacting insurance in a foreign country or countries may invest funds necessary to meet its obligations in connection with such foreign insurance business without limitations under sections 38a-102 to 38a-102h, inclusive.(e) A domestic insurer may invest up to five per cent of admitted assets in the common stock, preferred stock, limited partnership interests or other equity interests of any single institution other than subsidiaries and affiliates or in the shares of investment companies and up to twenty-five per cent of admitted assets in all such investments other than preferred stocks, which shall not be subject to such aggregate limitation.(f) A domestic insurer may invest (1) up to five per cent of admitted assets in any single real estate investment or other tangible investment, and (2) up to ten per cent of admitted assets in the aggregate in (A) tangible investments and non-income-producing real estate and (B) that portion of any loan secured by mortgages or other interests in real estate which when made exceeds a loan-to-value ratio of more than seventy-five per cent. A "real estate investment" means any interest in real estate including, without limitation, a direct equity interest, joint venture interest, partnership interest and an interest in obligations secured by a mortgage or deed of trust but shall not include investments in subsidiaries.Conn.
