Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract] |
Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Note 14. Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments The estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using available market information from various market sources and appropriate valuation methodologies as of the respective dates. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and to develop the estimates of fair value. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The following describes the methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating fair values: Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Fixed Maturities and Common and Non-Redeemable Preferred Stocks The carrying amount is determined in accordance with methods prescribed by the NAIC, which do not differ materially from publicly quoted market prices. Certain fixed maturities do not have publicly quoted values and consist solely of issuances of pooled debt obligations of multiple, smaller financial services companies. They are not actively traded and valuation techniques used to measure fair value are based on future estimated cash flows discounted at a reasonably estimated rate of interest. Other qualitative and quantitative information received from the original underwriter of the pooled offerings is also considered, as applicable. Non-publicly Traded Invested Assets The fair value of investments in certain limited partnerships which are included in other invested assets on the consolidated balance sheet were determined by officers of those limited partnerships. Junior Subordinated Debentures The fair value is estimated based on the quoted market prices for similar issues and the current rates offered for debt having similar returns and remaining maturities.
