PMI has a 50% equity ownership in CMG Mortgage Insurance Company, founded in 1994 as a JV with CUNA Mutual Group, and CMG Mortgage Assurance Company (collectively CMG MI), a provider of private mortgage insurance to the credit union industry.

In October 2011, Arizona insurance regulators seized PMI's main subsidiary and reduced claim payouts to 50% of the claim made with the balance of each claim being deferred.[1] Shortly afterward, PMI filed for bankruptcy.[2]
