New caps for Idaho insurers' other investments

Starting July 1, 2026, Idaho-licensed insurers face set caps on other investments. Total investments in assets that Idaho law has not specifically approved cannot be more than 10% of the insurer’s assets. No single investment, or investments in one company and its affiliates and subsidiaries (same first six CUSIP digits), can be more than 5% of assets. These limits do not change investments that Idaho law already allows or bans. Insurers must keep a separate record for all investments under this rule.
