The Fed's Hit List

What follows is a list of insurers currently targeted by the Fed for additional oversight because they operate a thrift. While some of the companies on this list are seeking to shed their thrifts to avoid addtional federal regulation, others are willing to live with additional federal oversight.

According to federal regulators, the list of companies under scrutiny by the Fed is a “moving target,” and it is subject to change. But for now, here are the first 20 companies to come under the Fed’s spotlight. Who will be next? Only time will tell.
