Description: RDN Radian

Radian Group Inc. (NYSE: RDN) is a U.S. financial services company that provides private mortgage insurance on residential first-lien mortgage loans, aggregating and distributing mortgage credit risk on behalf of mortgage lenders and investors. The company also offers specialty insurance and reinsurance products, serving a broad range of mortgage originators including mortgage banks, commercial banks, savings institutions, credit unions, and community banks.
