MTG in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelook stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
MGIC Investment provides private mortgage insurance through its subsidiaries, protecting lenders against default on individual home loans.

Its customers are banks, credit unions, mortgage brokers and other originators of residential loans across the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam. It is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Where it sits in the stack

Why Closelook tracks it
