Business Summary
PICO Holdings, Inc. is a diversified holding company that acquires interests in companies that its management believes: are undervalued at the time the Company buys them; and have the potential to provide a superior rate of return over time, after considering the risk involved. The Company's major activities are: owning and developing land and the related mineral rights and water rights through Nevada Land & Resource Company, LLC; owning and developing water rights and water storage operations through Vidler Water Company, Inc.; property and casualty insurance; "running off" the loss reserves of the Company's medical professional liability insurance companies; and making long term value-based investments in other public companies.
