Concentrations of Credit Risk
Note 10 – Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
The Company maintains cash balances in financial institutions that at times may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company maintains its primary operating cash accounts with First Southern National Bank, an affiliate of the largest shareholder of UTG, Mr. Jesse Correll, the Company’s CEO and Chairman.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
 
Because UTG serves primarily individuals located in three states, the ability of the Company's customers to pay their insurance premiums is impacted by the economic conditions in these areas.  As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, approximately 52% and 51% of the Company’s total direct premium was collected from Illinois, Ohio, and Texas. Thus, results of operations are heavily dependent upon the strength of these economies.
 
The Company reinsures that portion of insurance risk which is in excess of its retention limits. Retention limits range up to $125,000 per life.  Life insurance ceded represented 20% of total life insurance in force at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.  Insurance ceded represented 24% of premium income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company would be liable for the reinsured risks ceded to other companies to the extent that such reinsuring companies are unable to meet their obligations.
 
The Company owns a variety of investments associated with the oil and gas industry. These investments represent approximately 39% and 35% of the Company’s total invested assets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
