(b) The investment portfolio of a foreign insurer or alien insurer, other than a life insurer, shall be: (1) as allowed by the laws of its domicile; and (2) of a quality substantially as high as that required under this subtitle for similar funds of like domestic insurers. (c) The Commissioner may deny or refuse to renew a certificate of authority to a foreign insurer or alien insurer if: (1) the foreign insurer or alien insurer has investments in one person in excess of the limit provided in § 5-606 of this subtitle; or (2) the Commissioner finds that its investments do not comply in substance with the investment requirements and limitations of this subtitle for domestic insurers transacting the same kind of insurance business.
