Workers Compensation Fund Announces 5% Dividend

Workers Compensation Fund has declared a $9 million dividend that will be distributed to a majority of policyholders this May. Policyholders can expect to receive five percent of their 2013 premium.
 
"Policyholders are receiving a dividend because we had better than expected investment returns in 2013," said WCF CEO and President, Ray Pickup. "We recorded a loss from insurance operations, but the loss was offset by higher than expected investment income. When we as a company do well, we share the results with our policyholders."
 
With this distribution, WCF will have returned more than $360 million in dividends to its policyholders since 1992--giving back 38 percent of operating income (10 percent of net earned premiums) to its policyholders. 

"No other carrier in the marketplace has been able to provide this type of return to their policyholders," said Ray Pickup, WCF CEO and president.  

More than 19,000 businesses in Utah will receive a portion of the $9 million policyholder dividend.
