The Conventus Owner Benefit Plan (COBP) may allow our members to share in company profits.
With the approval of the NJ Department of Banking and Insurance, Conventus distributes dividends and returns of owner capital contributions to qualified members (as specified in the COBP) should there be profits that exceed specified thresholds. While the COBP is subject to change, and past performance is no guaranty of future results, here is some history of the COBP.
In 2018, Conventus distributed dividends and capital returns to member owners for the ninth consecutive year. Since 2009, Conventus has distributed more than $13.6 Million in total to qualified members and/or their representatives through the COBP. Our ability to share profits is evidence of our wise and careful management of claims and investments. It’s also proof that you can trust Conventus to put your interest front and center. Of course, profits are not guaranteed, but the COBP is there for qualified members.
