PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
1997 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON
MAY 14, 1997
------------------------
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of CMAC Investment Corporation (hereinafter
the "Company"), for use at the 1997 annual meeting of stockholders to be held at
1601 Market Street, 13th Floor, Philadelphia, PA, on Wednesday, May 14, 1997 at
10:00 a.m., local time, and at any adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement
and the accompanying Proxy Card are expected to be distributed to stockholders
on or about April 7, 1997.
The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. In
addition to the use of the mails, Corporate Investor Communications, Inc.,
Carlstadt, New Jersey, a proxy solicitation firm, has been employed to solicit
proxies by mail, telephone or personal solicitation. It is anticipated that the
fees to be paid to Corporate Investor Communications by the Company will not
exceed $10,000. Proxies may also be solicited by officers and directors and a
small number of employees of the Company who will not be specially compensated
for such services. The Company will also request banks, brokers and other
custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward copies of the proxy material to
their principals and to request authority for the execution of proxies. The
Company will, upon request, reimburse such persons for reasonable expenses
incurred in that regard.
The Company's annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31,
1996, including audited financial statements, is being mailed to stockholders
with this Proxy Statement but does not constitute a part of this Proxy
Statement.
PURPOSE OF THE MEETING
At the annual meeting, the stockholders will be asked to (i) elect three
directors to hold office as provided by law and the by-laws of the Company, (ii)
ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent
auditors for the year ending December 31, 1997, and (iii) transact such other
business as may properly come before the meeting.
VOTING AT THE MEETING
Holders of the shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"), of
record at the close of business on March 17, 1997 are entitled to vote at the
meeting. As of that date, 22,426,504 shares of Common Stock were outstanding.
Each stockholder entitled to vote shall have the right to one vote for each
share outstanding in such stockholder's name.
The Company presently has no other class of stock outstanding and entitled
to be voted at the meeting. The holders of a majority of the shares entitled to
vote, present in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum. The
affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present in person or represented
by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required for the election of
directors. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or
represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required to approve
and ratify (i) the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, or (ii) to take action
with respect to any other matter as may be properly brought before the meeting.

With regard to election of directors, votes may be cast in favor or
withheld; votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and
will have no effect.
Abstentions may be specified on the proposals to ratify the Company's
auditors. Abstentions may not be specified for the election of directors.
Abstentions will be considered present and entitled to vote at the meeting but
will not be counted as votes cast in the affirmative.
Brokers that are member firms of the New York Stock Exchange and who hold
shares in street name for customers have the authority to vote those shares with
respect to the election of directors and the ratification of the appointment of
Deloitte & Touche LLP if they have not received instructions from a beneficial
owner. Assuming that sufficient shares are present (so that a quorum may be
obtained) for each proposal, a failure by brokers to vote those shares will have
no effect in the outcome of the election of directors or the approval of any
proposal at the meeting because such shares will not be considered shares
present and entitled to vote with respect to such matters.
Shares cannot be voted at the meeting unless the holder of record is
present in person or is represented by proxy. The enclosed Proxy Card is a means
by which a stockholder may authorize the voting of his or her shares at the
meeting. The shares of Common Stock represented by each properly executed Proxy
Card will be voted at the meeting in accordance with each stockholder's
directions. Stockholders are urged to specify their choices by marking the
appropriate boxes on the enclosed Proxy Card; if no choice has been specified,
the shares will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors. If any other
matters are properly presented to the meeting for action, the proxy holders will
vote the proxies (which confer discretionary authority to vote on such matters)
in accordance with their best judgment.
Execution of the accompanying Proxy Card will not affect a stockholder's
right to revoke it by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of
the Company before the proxy is voted, by voting in person at the meeting, or by
executing a later-dated proxy that is received by the Company before the
meeting.
YOUR PROXY VOTE IS IMPORTANT TO THE COMPANY. ACCORDINGLY, YOU ARE ASKED TO
COMPLETE, SIGN AND RETURN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY CARD WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO
ATTEND THE MEETING. IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE MEETING TO VOTE IN PERSON AND YOUR
SHARES ARE REGISTERED WITH THE COMPANY'S TRANSFER AGENT (THE BANK OF NEW YORK)
IN THE NAME OF A BROKER, BANK OR OTHER CUSTODIAN, NOMINEE OR FIDUCIARY, YOU MUST
SECURE A PROXY FROM SUCH PERSON ASSIGNING YOU THE RIGHT TO VOTE YOUR SHARES.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that the Board of Directors of the Company is classified into three classes of
directors having staggered terms. Each class is as equal in size as possible.
Each class holds office for a term of three years and until the election and
qualification of their respective successors or until their earlier removal or
resignation.
Three directors are to be elected at the 1997 annual meeting. The terms of
three current directors, Frank P. Filipps, James C. Miller and Anthony W.
Schweiger, will expire at the 1997 annual meeting. The Board of Directors has
nominated these three current directors for election as directors of the Company
for terms of office that would expire in 2000. The remaining six directors will
continue to serve in accordance with their prior election or appointment.
The nominees have consented to be named and to serve if elected or
confirmed. Unless otherwise instructed by the stockholders, the persons named in
the proxies will vote the shares represented thereby FOR the election of such
nominees. The Board of Directors believes all nominees will be able to serve as
directors; however, if this should not be the case, the proxies may be voted for
any substitute nominee to be designated by the Board of Directors.
The three directors are to be elected by a plurality of the shares present
in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote. The Board
of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees.

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENTS
See "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS" for a description of change of control
agreements between the Company and its executive officers.
PENSION PLAN
The Board of Directors of the Company has established the CMAC Investment
Corporation Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan").
The Pension Plan is intended to be tax-qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code. All salaried and hourly employees of the Company are
eligible to participate in the Pension Plan upon the attainment of 20 1/2 years
of age and one year of eligibility service. A participant is generally fully
vested after five years of service subsequent to age 18.
The amount of the annual normal retirement benefit of a participant is the
sum of (i) 1.1% of his average base salary for the five consecutive calendar
years for which such average is highest ("Average Annual Salary") multiplied by
his number of years of credited service not in excess of 35 years, plus (ii)
0.5% of the participant's Average Annual Salary in excess of the average of the
annual Social Security taxable wage bases in effect for each of the 35 calendar
years ending with the calendar year in which he attains Social Security
retirement age multiplied by his number of years of credited service not in
excess of 35 years, plus (iii) 0.5% of the participant's Average Annual Salary
multiplied by his number of years of credited service in excess of 35 years.
The following table sets forth the approximate annual pension that a
full-time employee, including an executive officer, may receive under the
Pension Plan, assuming selection of a single life annuity and retirement at age
65, based on the indicated assumptions as to Average Annual Salary and years of
credited service. The following table assumes that the Company was in existence
for the entire year of 1992.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
STOCK OPTION AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE
OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY
The Stock Option and Compensation Committee (the "Committee") has provided
the following report on executive compensation for the year ended December 31,
1996:
COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
The Committee believes that the Company's executive compensation program
should be closely related to the services that the executives deliver to the
Company and the value such services bring to the stockholders of the Company.
The Committee believes an executive's compensation should be based, in
part, on the achievement by the Company of certain specified financial
objectives and, in part, on the achievement by the executive of specific,
individual objectives. The Company's financial objectives are recommended by
management and are approved by the Stock Option and Compensation Committee and
further ratified by the full Board of Directors. Achievement of both the
corporate and individual objectives should lead to improved performance and
greater value to the stockholders.
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Company's executive compensation program is comprised of three
components: (i) annual base salary; (ii) annual bonus; and (iii) long-term
equity incentives. The variable portions of the executive compensation program
(annual bonus and stock options) are directly tied to the Company's results of
operations. The annual bonus has been designed to recognize shorter-term results
while awards of stock options have been implemented to recognize sustained
corporate growth and profitability. The annual bonus plan is designed to reflect
the achievement of specific individual and corporate goals and objectives
including specific net income and return on equity targets. The amount of the
annual bonus actually awarded to an executive officer is dependent on the
meeting or exceeding of specific targets which are developed at the beginning of
each year by the executive and the Company. Failure to reach the targeted goals
results in lower annual bonus awards and may, in the appropriate circumstances,
result in no award. Since the attainment of the goals and objectives of the
Company leads to increased stockholder returns, the annual bonus plan creates a
direct relationship between executive compensation and the creation of
additional value for the stockholders.
COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Mr. Filipps' annual compensation is fixed by the Committee. The Committee
may grant periodic salary increases, if warranted, after a review of Mr.
Filipps' performance and an assessment of the competitiveness of Mr. Filipps'
current base salary. The award of an annual bonus recognizes Mr. Filipps'
contributions to the Company's overall results. Contributions are measured
against specific goals and objectives which are established by the Committee at
the beginning of each year. The Committee considers the Company's return on
equity, combined ratio, market share, growth in earnings and revenue, reduction
in expenses, increases in profitability, as well as Mr. Filipps' individual
goals and objectives.
ANNUAL BASE SALARY
The annual base salary levels for the Company's executive officers
(excluding the Chairman of the Board) are intended to be competitive with
salaries for executive officers in comparable industries with similar levels of
responsibility. The Company believes the salaries are competitive. Salaries paid
to executive officers are fixed by the Committee. The Committee grants periodic
salary increases, if warranted, after a review of individual performance and an
assessment of the competitiveness of the executive's current salary.
12
16
ANNUAL BONUS
The award of an annual bonus recognizes the individual contributions of an
executive officer to the Company's overall results of operations. Contributions
are measured against specific goals and objectives established at the beginning
of the year for each executive officer and the Company. Among the factors
considered are the Company's return on equity, combined ratio, market share,
growth in earnings and revenue, reduction in expenses, increases in
productivity, etc. Individual objectives are based on the executive's position
with the Company or an affiliate.
The President and the next three most highly compensated executive officers
of the Company are eligible for bonuses of 100% of their annual base salary. A
bonus in excess of 100% may be awarded at the discretion of the Board of
Directors.
In addition to the bonus eligibility of the highly compensated executive
officers as indicated above, the remaining executive officers of the Company
have the opportunity to earn annual bonuses ranging from 50% to 75% of their
annual base salary.
The Chairman and the President of the Company review the performance of all
executive officers and make specific recommendations to the Committee regarding
the amount of annual bonus, if any, to be awarded. The amount of the annual
bonus is dependent upon achieving specific goals and objectives.
LONG-TERM EQUITY INCENTIVE
The Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan and 1995 Equity Compensation Plan
provide the Company the opportunity to reward the contributions of key
employees -- executive officers and others. In 1994, the Company undertook a
review of the compensation practices of corporations similar in size and/or
business to the Company. Based on this review, the Chief Executive Officer and
the President determined that the use of stock option awards based on salary
levels was the best method of long-term incentive compensation of executive
officers, and one that would ensure that the executive officers hold equity
stakes in the Company. The Company's management modified the existing stock
option grant guidelines and suggested that the Committee adopt these
modifications. Based upon the review and management's recommendations, the
Committee approved guidelines that provide for stock option grants to executive
officers (and key employees) upon the occurrence of one (or more) of the
following events: (i) initial employment, (ii) promotion to a new, higher level
position with increased responsibility and accountability, and/or (iii) the
attainment of specific goals and objectives by an executive officer and the
Company. Pursuant to these guidelines, the President recommends the number of
stock options to be granted to an executive officer (or key employee) and
presents this recommendation to the Committee along with supporting data for its
review and approval. The President may make a recommendation to the Committee
that deviates from the guidelines in appropriate circumstances.
The Committee reviews the individual performance of Messrs. Wender and Mr.
Filipps. Mr. Filipps reviews the performances of Messrs. Fischer, Levine,
MacLeod and Quint, and the performances of the remaining executive officers of
the Company and makes specific recommendations to the Committee regarding
eligibility for and the amount of stock options to be granted to those executive
officers (and key employees) of the Company he feels have made significant
contributions to the Company's results of operations.
The Committee evaluates the performance of the Company during a calendar
year by examining a number of factors including the Company's competitive
position in the mortgage insurance industry, growth in earnings, return on
equity and other specific corporate goals and objectives. The Committee also
examines the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee
grants, subject to approval and ratification by the Board of Directors, stock
options to the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and key
employees.
None of the executive officers named in the "Summary Compensation Table"
received a stock option grant during the year ended December 31, 1996. However,
on January 20, 1997, the following executive officers of the Company were
granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock: Mr. Filipps -- 25,000
13
17
shares, Mr. Fischer -- 16,500 shares, Messrs. MacLeod and Quint -- 15,000 shares
each, and Mr. Levine -- 10,000 shares. The executive officers of the Company as
a group were granted options to purchase 85,500 shares in total. These options
vest 25% per year beginning January 21, 1999, and were granted at an option
price of $32.50 per share, the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York
Stock Exchange on January 20, 1997.
COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 162(M)
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted in 1993, generally
disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation over $1 million
paid to a corporation's Chief Executive Officer and the four next most highly
compensated executive officers except to the extent that any amount in excess of
such limit is paid pursuant to a plan containing a performance standard or a
stock option plan that meets certain requirements. The amendments for the 1992
Stock Option Plan approved at the 1995 Annual Meeting were designed to bring the
1992 Stock Option Plan into compliance with Section 162(m). The 1995 Equity
Compensation Plan, approved at the 1995 Annual Meeting, was drafted to comply
with Section 162(m). The Company currently has no other executive compensation
programs that would be impacted by Section 162(m).

TOTAL STOCKHOLDER RETURN GRAPH
The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that the Company's total
return to its stockholders be compared to a relevant market index and a similar
industry index for the last five years or such shorter period of time as the
Company has been publicly traded. The Company became a publicly-traded company
on October 30, 1992 when its initial public offering commenced. The following
compares the total return to stockholders of (i) a $100 investment in the
Company's Common Stock, (ii) the Standard and Poor's 500, and (iii) a peer group
constructed by the Company for the period October 30, 1992 through December 31,
1996. The three companies in the peer group, MGIC Investment Corporation, a
publicly-traded mortgage insurance company, Fannie Mae and the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") have been selected because their core
businesses involve residential mortgage lending.
Total stockholder return is determined by dividing (i) the sum of the
cumulative amount of dividends for a given period (assuming dividend
reinvestment) and the difference between the share price at the end of the
beginning of the period, by (ii) the share price at the end of the period.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Prior to the Company's initial public offering in October 1992 (the
"Offering"), the Company and CMAC were indirect subsidiaries of Reliance Group
Holdings, Inc. ("Reliance"). Mr. Wender, Chairman of the Board of the Company,
is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Commonwealth, an
indirect subsidiary of Reliance.
Concurrently with the Offering, Commonwealth purchased 800,000 shares of
the Company's $4.125 Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") for an aggregate
purchase price of $40.0 million. Dividends on the Preferred Stock are payable
quarterly and for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled $3.3 million. The
Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the Company at $54.125 per share
beginning August 15, 2002 and declining to $50.00 per share, in ten annual
installments of 72,000 shares beginning in 2002 and the remaining 80,000 shares
in 2012. In the event that dividends on the Preferred Stock are in arrears and
unpaid in an amount equal to six quarterly dividends, the size of the Company's
Board of Directors will be increased by two to permit the holders of the
Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, to elect two directors. These
voting rights may not be exercised by Reliance or any affiliate thereof. The
Company may not consummate any Fundamental Transaction (defined as a merger,
consolidation, sale of assets or similar transaction on which the holders of the
Common Stock are entitled to vote) unless such transaction is approved by two-
thirds of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock. In connection with the
sale of Preferred Stock, the
15
19
Company granted to Commonwealth certain rights to register the Preferred Stock
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In July 1992, the Company entered into an agreement with Commonwealth for
the sublease of approximately 19,000 square feet of office space in Philadelphia
for the Company's headquarters. In August 1993, the Company relocated its
operations in Philadelphia to a new location. In connection with the relocation,
the Company and Commonwealth entered into an agreement under which the Company
leased the 19,000 square feet of office space back to Commonwealth. The
Company's obligation to Commonwealth under these arrangements terminated in May,
1996 with a net cost for 1996 to the Company of $95,165.
The Company has entered into change of control agreements with each of
Messrs. Filipps, Fischer, Levine, MacLeod, Quint and Shelly effective January
25, 1995. The change of control agreements have initial terms of three years and
upon expiration of such period will be automatically extended for successive
one-year terms, unless terminated by either party.
The change of control agreements provide that in the event that, within two
years after a "change in control" or "merger" (as defined in the agreements) of
the Company or CMAC, the executive's employment is terminated (i) by the Company
for any reason other than (1) the executive's continued illness, injury or
incapacity for a period of twelve consecutive months or (2) for "cause", which
shall mean misappropriation of funds, habitual insobriety, substance abuse,
conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude, or gross negligence in the
performance of duties, which gross negligence has had a material adverse effect
on the business, operations, assets, properties or financial condition of the
Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (ii) by the executive in the
event of relocation or certain specified adverse changes in employment status
and compensation, the executive would be entitled to a lump-sum cash payment
equal to 2.0 times (1) the executive's average annual cash compensation for the
immediately preceding five-year period plus (2) the maximum bonus eligibility
for the year in which a termination occurs. Additionally, upon a change of
control (as defined in the agreements), all options not then vested would fully
vest, and any restricted stock previously granted to the executive which has not
yet vested or become freely transferable would become fully vested and freely
transferable.
The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Wender effective
August 2, 1992. This agreement had an initial term of two years and upon the
expiration of such period is automatically extended for successive one year
terms unless terminated by either party. Mr. Wender will receive a base salary
of $100,000, subject to periodic increase at the discretion of the Board of
Directors; Mr. Wender is also entitled to such incentive compensation as the
Board of Directors may elect. This agreement may be terminated by the Company in
the event (i) the death of Mr. Wender, (ii) the continued mental or physical
incapacity of Mr. Wender over a period of six months, (iii) a material breach by
Mr. Wender of the employment agreement, (iv) willful and material misconduct by
Mr. Wender, or (v) willful failure of Mr. Wender to perform his duties after a
written demand for substantial performance. Mr. Wender may also terminate his
employment agreement in certain limited circumstances, such as demotion,
involuntary transfer or diminution of bonus or incentive programs. The Company
has agreed to indemnify Mr. Wender against suits based on his actions as a
director of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law,
including the advancement of expenses in certain circumstances. Mr. Wender's
employment agreement provides that in the event of a "change of control" or
"merger" (as defined in the agreement) of the Company or CMAC, Mr. Wender's
employment is terminated (i) by the Company for any reason other than those set
forth above or (ii) by Mr. Wender in the event of relocation or certain
specified adverse changes in employment status and compensation, Mr. Wender
would be entitled to a lump-sum cash payment equal to 200% of his then current
base salary.

STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL OF SELECTION
OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
On January 21, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company, acting upon the
recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected the firm of Deloitte & Touche
LLP as the independent auditors to audit the books, records and accounts of the
Company for the current fiscal year, subject to ratification by the Company's
stockholders. Deloitte & Touche LLP also served as the Company's independent
auditors for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Adoption of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of
the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled

independent auditing firm at any time during the year if the Board determines
that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders.
The Company has requested that a representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP
attend the 1997 annual meeting of stockholders. Such representative will have an
opportunity to make a statement, if he or she desires, and will be available to
respond to appropriate stockholder's questions.

that may come before the meeting. If, however, further business properly comes
before the meeting, the persons named in the proxies will vote the shares
represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment.
