Wis. Stat. § 620.05

620.05 Protection against currency fluctuations. Any insurer doing business that requires it to make payment in different currencies shall have investments in securities in each of such currencies in an amount that independently of all other investments meets the requirements of chs. 600 to 646 as applied separately to the insurer’s obligations in each currency. The commissioner may by order exempt an insurer, or by rule a class of insurers, from this requirement if the obligations in other currencies are small enough that no significant problem for solidity would be created by substantial fluctuations in relative currency values. History: 1977 c. 339; 1979 c. 89.

620.12

Disposal of prohibited assets. (1) INVESTMENTS BECOMING ILLEGAL. The commissioner shall allow a reasonable time not longer than 10 years for disposal of any investment legally held on April 30, 1972, or of any investment legal when made but subsequently becoming illegal. (2) HARDSHIP CASES. A reasonable time shall be allowed for disposal of assets if the investment was made by mistake or if forced sale of the asset would be contrary to the interests of insureds, creditors or the public of this state. History: 1971 c. 260.
