Subject: sponsored demutualization -- request for opinions

In the last few days I have done some research into the topic of sponsored demutualization of life insurance companies. Studying the ongoing transition at Provident Mutual led me to add an entry to the Glosspinion.

I would very much like to know what those in the industry think about both my entry for sponsored demutualization and the subject in general.

While the Glosspinion openly has a degree of opinion in its entries, I do not wish to be totally unfair. Since I cannot find any information about the sponsored demutualization of Equitable by AXA in the early nineties, I am particularly worried that there may be mitigating factors I don't know anything about.

If you wish to answer privately, that is fine. I am using a real e-mail address, so you can just click my name at the left. On the other hand, if you feel it necessary to berate me publicly, I can take it. :)

Thank you very much.

-- Rich
