Radian completed a major acquisition of specialty insurer Inigo on February 2, 2026, funded through a $600 million intercompany note and accompanied by substantial share repurchases nearly doubling year-over-year.

The Inigo acquisition represents a significant strategic pivot for Radian into global specialty insurance and reinsurance markets, expanding beyond its traditional mortgage insurance focus. The financing structure using an intercompany note from the regulated subsidiary to the parent, approved by Pennsylvania regulators, demonstrates creative capital management but also highlights regulatory oversight requirements for such transactions.
