History
Berkshire created this government bond insurance company in December 2007 to insure municipal and state bonds.[4][5] These type bonds are issued by local governments to finance public works projects such as schools, hospitals, roads, and sewer systems. Berkshire is not guaranteeing BHAШаблон:Citation needed, thus opening itself to competition from any number of investors who could easily assemble the $5 billion capital. BHA began insurance operations in New York, with plans to move on to California, Puerto Rico, Texas, Illinois, and Florida.[6] On February 12, 2008, Warren Buffett announced a plan to add up to $5 billion in capital to BHA to enable it to provide reinsurance on municipal bonds currently guaranteed by Ambac, MBIA, and Financial Guaranty Insurance Company.[7] Buffet also announced BHA had closed its first deal to insure $50 million in debt for a 2% fee.[7] In 2014, Moody's said its credit rating was Aa1.[8][9] It also has a rating of AAA from S&P.[10]
