Radian Asset Assurance backs up bonds. The Radian Group subsidiary, is in the financial guaranty business, meaning that it insures and reinsures state and municipal bonds and provides direct financial guarantees of smaller debt obligations. The company reinsures in the US and Puerto Rico; its UK-based subsidiaries, Radian Asset Assurance Limited and Radian Financial Products Limited, provide financial guaranty products in Europe. As Radian Asset Assurance was heavily involved in insuring collateralized debt obligations and asset-backed securities, in 2008 its ratings were downgraded and the company ceased writing new financial guaranty business.

Radian Group is glowing from a conflagration of private mortgage insurance claims. Through subsidiaries Radian Guaranty, Amerin Guaranty, and Radian Insurance, Radian Group provides traditional private mortgage insurance coverage to protect lenders from defaults by borrowers who put down a deposit of less than 20% when buying a home. Such coverage provides protection on individual loans and covers unpaid loan principal and delinquent interest. Its pool insurance covers limited exposure on groups of loans. Radian still insures municipal bonds through its financial guaranty business, but is winding down that business. Radian Group's customers include mortgage bankers, commercial banks, and savings institutions.
