April 15, 2002

Dear Stockholder,

   You are cordially invited to attend the 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
of The PMI Group, Inc. to be held on Thursday, May 16, 2002, at 9:00 a.m.,
Pacific Time. The Meeting will be held on the 17th floor at our headquarters
located at 601 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, California.

   We look forward to greeting as many of our stockholders as are able to be
with us. As explained in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of
Stockholders and Proxy Statement, the purposes of the Meeting are the election
of Directors, the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as
independent auditors for 2002, and the approval of the proposal to amend the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of common stock. Your Board of Directors unanimously
recommends that you vote FOR the nominees for Director identified in the Proxy
Statement, FOR ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, and FOR
the approval of the proposal to amend the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. At

   I am pleased to announce that the Board of Directors elected L. Stephen
Smith as a Director at its February 2002 Board meeting. Mr. Smith joined the

Officer since 1998, and directs our U.S. mortgage insurance operations. Donald
C. Clark has decided not to stand for election to the Board after nearly six
years of service as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Among his
many accomplishments as a Director was Don's exemplary leadership and guidance
during the Company's transition to public company status. Don's experience and
wisdom will be missed. We thank him for his many contributions to PMI.

                                PROXY STATEMENT

   This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being mailed on or about
April 15, 2002, in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the
Board of Directors of The PMI Group, Inc. ("TPG"), a Delaware corporation, for
use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at 9:00 a.m., Pacific
Time, May 16, 2002, at 601 Montgomery Street, 17th Floor, San Francisco,
California and at any adjournment or postponement thereof (the "Meeting").

   TPG's principal executive office is located at 601 Montgomery Street, San
Francisco, California 94111. The telephone number at that address is (415)
788-7878.

   RECORD DATE AND SHARES OUTSTANDING.  The record date for determining
stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting is April 1,
2002 (the "Record Date"). As of that date, approximately 44,906,219 shares of
common stock were outstanding.

   REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES.  Proxies are revocable by written notice to the
Secretary of TPG at any time prior to their exercise stating that the proxy is
revoked and may also be revoked by signing and delivering a proxy with a later
date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

   VOTING AND SOLICITATION.  For each matter that may come before the Meeting,
each stockholder will be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock
registered in the stockholder's name on the Record Date. The Chairman of the
Board will announce the closing of the polls during the Meeting. Proxies must
be received prior to the closing of the polls in order to be counted. Instead
of submitting a signed proxy card, stockholders may submit their proxies by
telephone using the control number and instructions accompanying the proxy
card. Telephonic voting may not be available to stockholders who hold their
shares through a broker, nominee, fiduciary or other custodian. The enclosed
proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of TPG. If the proxy is properly
executed and returned, and choices are specified, the shares represented
thereby will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with those instructions. If
no choices are specified, a properly executed proxy will be voted as follows:

   FOR--election to the Board of the twelve individuals nominated by the Board
of Directors;

   FOR--ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as independent
auditors for 2002; and

   FOR--approval of the proposal to amend TPG's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock.

   Any other business that may properly come before the meeting will be voted
in the discretion of the proxy holder.

   The twelve nominees who receive the most votes will be elected to the twelve
open directorships even if they get less than a majority of the votes cast. For
approval of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as auditors (Item 2), more
shares must be voted "for" than "against" such proposal. For approval of the
proposal to amend TPG's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Item 3), a
majority of the outstanding shares must be voted "for" such proposal.

   Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be counted by the
persons appointed by TPG to act as election inspectors for the Meeting. The
election inspectors will treat abstentions as shares that are present and
entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

   While there is no definitive statutory or case law authority in Delaware as
to the proper treatment of abstentions, TPG believes that abstentions should be
counted for purposes of determining both (i) the presence or absence of the
quorum for the transaction of business and (ii) the total number of votes cast
with respect to an Item. Accordingly, abstentions will have the same effect as
a vote against Items 2 and 3. Broker non-votes (that

                                      1



is, if the broker holding shares of a stockholder in street name does not vote
with respect to an item) will be counted for purposes of determining the
presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business, but will not
be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast with respect to
Items 2 and 3.

   The cost of this solicitation will be borne by TPG. MacKenzie Partners, Inc.
has been retained by TPG to assist in the solicitation of proxies at an
estimated fee of $4,500 plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses. In addition,
TPG may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial
owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding solicitation material to such
beneficial owners. Proxies also may be solicited by certain of TPG's Directors,
officers and employees, personally or by telephone or telegram, without
additional compensation.

   TPG's Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2001 has been mailed with this document. Stockholders should refer to that
Annual Report for financial and other information about the activities of TPG.
However, the Annual Report to Stockholders is not incorporated by reference
into this Proxy Statement and is not to be deemed a part of this Proxy
Statement.

                        ITEM 1:  ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

   NOMINEES FOR ELECTION.  A board of twelve Directors is to be elected at the
Meeting. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies
received by them for the twelve nominees named below. All of the nominees are
presently Directors of TPG. Each person elected shall serve a one-year term as
a Director until the next Annual Meeting or until a successor is duly elected
and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

              Mariann Byerwalter        John D. Roach
              Dr. James C. Castle       Dr. Kenneth T. Rosen
              W. Roger Haughton         L. Stephen Smith
              Wayne E. Hedien           Richard L. Thomas
              Louis G. Lower II         Mary Lee Widener
              Raymond L. Ocampo Jr.     Ronald H. Zech

   STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIRED.  Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the
votes cast at the Meeting. Only votes cast for a nominee will be counted. Votes
cast include votes under proxies that are signed, but that do not have contrary
voting instructions. Broker non-votes, abstentions and instructions on the
accompanying proxy card to withhold authority to vote for one or more of the
nominees will be disregarded in the calculation of a plurality of the votes
cast. TPG's bylaws and proxy rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission provide that stockholders may submit nominations for Directors at an
Annual Meeting if they comply with certain requirements. Any stockholder
submitted nomination for director must have been delivered to or mailed and
received by TPG's Secretary at TPG's principal executive offices not later than
the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business
on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual
meeting to be considered timely. Any nomination not timely received will not be
considered.

   Each nominee has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and has
indicated a willingness to serve if elected. However, if at the Meeting any of
the nominees named above is not available to serve as a Director (an event that
the Board of Directors does not anticipate), the proxies will be voted for the
election as Directors for such other person or persons as the proxy holders may
designate, unless the Board of Directors, in its discretion, reduces the number
of Directors.

   THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE
NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE, AND UNLESS A STOCKHOLDER GIVES INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROXY
CARD TO THE CONTRARY, THE PROXY WILL BE VOTED FOR THE NOMINEES.

and monitors TPG's corporate governance practices and procedures and monitors
the responsibilities of board members, in consultation with the Chairman of the
Board. The committee makes periodic reports to the Board of Directors regarding
TPG's governance practices. The committee assists the Board of Directors in its
assessment of the Chief Executive Officer, and assists the Chairman in the
annual self-assessment process for the Board of Directors. The committee
advises the Board with respect to the size and composition of the Board and
recommends prospective Directors to assist in creating a balance of knowledge,
experience and capability on the Board. Any shareholder wishing to propose a
nominee should submit a recommendation in writing to TPG's Secretary,
indicating the nominee's qualifications and other relevant biographical
information and providing confirmation of the nominee's consent to serve as a
director. The committee reviews recommendations regarding Director compensation.

   DIRECTORS' STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES.  In order to more closely align the
interest of Non-Employee Directors with those of TPG's stockholders, the Board
of Directors established stock ownership

                                      5



guidelines for all Non-Employee Directors. The desired level of stock ownership
is to be achieved over a period of five years from the date of first election
as a director. Non-Employee Directors are expected to own TPG common stock that
has a market value equal to a minimum of approximately $110,000, which is five
times a director's annual retainer fee. Stock owned for purposes of the
guidelines include: (a) shares purchased in the open market or upon the
exercise of options, including shares held in a retirement plan, (b) stock
awarded under The PMI Group, Inc. Stock Plan For Non-Employee Directors, (c)
stock awarded under The PMI Group, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan, (d) TPG common
stock equivalents held in The PMI Group, Inc. Directors' Deferred Compensation
Plan ("Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan"), and (e) the market value of
vested stock options which have an exercise price below the current market
price for TPG common stock. As of April 1, 2002, Non-Employee Directors
Byerwalter, Dr. Castle, Clark, Hedien, Lower, Ocampo, Roach, Dr. Rosen, Thomas,
Widener and Zech have met approximately 30%, 1050%, 1058%, 966%, 52%, 549%,
1216%, 962%, 5253%, 686%, and 674%, respectively, of the stock ownership
guidelines based on the closing price of TPG common stock on April 1, 2002 of
$76.43 per share.

   DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.  Directors who are employees of TPG or
its subsidiaries do not receive additional compensation for their services as
Directors. Each Non-Employee Director receives fees for his or her service as a
Director. Each Non-Employee Director receives an annual retainer of $22,000.
The Non-Employee Directors who serve as Committee Chairs receive an additional
annual retainer of $6,000. Directors are reimbursed for reasonable expenses to
attend meetings. Non-Employee Directors also receive initial and annual grants
of stock options and restricted shares of TPG common stock. The following table
sets forth the fees and other compensation benefits paid to all Non-Employee
Directors. In the event that the stockholders at the Annual Meeting approve the
proposal to amend TPG's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the
number of authorized shares of common stock, the Governance and Nominating
Committee of the Board of Directors may review the non-cash compensation
benefits paid to all Non-Employee Directors.

(1) Under the Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan, each Non-Employee Director
    may defer receipt of his or her retainer fees. The minimum permitted
    deferral is $5,000. All amounts deferred are deemed to be invested in
    phantom shares of TPG common stock. On any date, the value of each share of
    phantom stock will equal the fair market value of a share of common stock,
    including reinvestment of any dividends. At the time when a Director makes
    a deferral election, he or she also must elect the time and method for
    payment of the deferred amounts. Phantom shares of TPG common stock will be
    paid in cash.
(2) Granted in the initial year as a Director, the shares are prorated (based
    on months of service between June 1 and May 31) and are awarded as soon as
    administratively practicable after the Director joins the Board. The stock
    option generally vests in three equal installments on the first, second and
    third anniversaries of the date of grant, assuming continued service on the
    Bard. The exercise price is equal to 100 percent of the fair market value
    on the date of grant.
(3) Stock options are granted as of the first business day in June of each year
    (assuming that he or she remains an eligible Non-Employee Director). The
    exercise price of each such option is equal to 100 percent of the fair
    market value on the date of grant of the shares covered by the option. The
    options granted become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of
    grant. All options granted to Non-Employee Directors have a term of not
    greater than 10 years from the date of grant. If a Director terminates
    service on the Board

                                      6



   prior to an option's normal expiration date, the period of exercisability of
   the option may be shorter, depending upon the reason for the termination.
(4) Granted for each full year of service, prorated for service of less than
    one year. Shares of restricted stock are awarded as of the first business
    day in June of each year (assuming that he or she remains an eligible
    Non-Employee Director). Each Non-Employee Director may receive only one
    award of TPG common stock during any calendar year. The number of shares of
    restricted stock awarded to any Non-Employee Director will be reduced as
    necessary so that the fair market value of the shares on the date of award
    does not exceed $30,000. Any shares of restricted stock will vest six
    months after the applicable grant date. Each Non-Employee Director also
    receives an annual cash payment equal to the estimated tax liability on the
    award of restricted stock, including taxes payable on the amount of the tax
    cash payment.

(1) The options have a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value
    of a share of common stock on the grant date and vest in three equal
    installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant. The
    required exercise price and tax withholding may be paid in cash and/or
    shares of common stock that would otherwise have been received on exercise.
(2) Represents percentage of total options to purchase common stock granted
    under The PMI Group, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan ("Equity Incentive Plan")
    to employees of TPG and its subsidiaries during 2001.
(3) Realizable values are reported net of the option exercise price. The dollar
    amounts under these columns are the result of calculations at the 5% and
    10% rates (determined from the price at the date of grant, not the stock's
    current market value) set by the Securities and Exchange Commission and
    therefore are not intended to forecast possible future appreciation, if
    any, of TPG's stock price. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises
    are dependent on the future performance of the common stock as well as the
    optionholder's continued employment through the vesting period. The
    potential realizable value calculation assumes that the optionholder waits
    until the end of the option term to exercise the option.

   The following table shows the number of shares acquired on the exercise of
stock options, value realized on the exercise of options, underlying
unexercised options and the value of options outstanding as of December 31,
2001 for each of the Named Executive Officers. TPG has not granted any SARs.

   LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS.  No performance share awards or any other
long-term incentive plan awards, except for stock option grants, were made to
the Named Executive Officers during 2001.

   CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS.  The Equity Incentive Plan and the Officer's
Deferred Compensation Plan both provide that upon a Change of Control, all
outstanding stock options, restricted stock, performance shares and other
common stock equivalents shall become 100% vested and immediately exercisable.
Under the Equity Incentive Plan, "Change of Control" generally means the
earliest to occur of: (a) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group of
20% or more of the then outstanding shares of common stock of TPG (excluding
acquisition directly from TPG, or by any employee benefit plan sponsored or
maintained by TPG); (b) the failure of the current Board members, for any
reason, to constitute at least a majority of the Board (excluding individuals
whose election to the Board was approved by the current Board); (c)
consummation by TPG of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of TPG or the
acquisition of assets of another entity unless, following such business
combination, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were
the beneficial owners, respectively, of the outstanding shares of common stock
and outstanding company voting securities of TPG immediately prior to such
business combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60%
of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined
voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation
resulting from such business combination; or (d) approval by the stockholders
of TPG of a complete liquidation or dissolution of TPG.

   TPG has also entered into Change of Control Employment Agreements
("Employment Agreements") with certain senior officers of TPG, including
Messrs. Haughton, Smith, Seaman, Lorenzen, and Bacigalupi (the "Executives"),
each Employment Agreement originally dated as of February 12, 1998. TPG
believes it is imperative to be able to maintain a stable and competent
management base, and that the continued success of TPG depends, to a
significant degree, on the skills and competence of its senior officers. The
Employment Agreements are intended to assure that TPG will have the continued
dedication of its senior officers by diminishing the inevitable distraction of
such officers by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks arising from
the possibility, threat or occurrence of a change of control of TPG. Generally,
severance benefits will be triggered under the Employment Agreements if a
change of control occurs and the Executive's employment is terminated (a) by
the Executive for "Good Reason" or (b) by TPG other than for "Cause," "Death"
or "Disability," as defined in the Employment Agreements, during the three year
period following a "Change of Control". Under the Employment Agreements,
"Change of Control," generally means (a) the acquisition by any individual,
entity or group of 20% or more of the then outstanding shares of common stock
of TPG (excluding acquisition directly from TPG, or by any employee benefit
plan sponsored or maintained by TPG); (b) the failure of the current Board
members, for any reason, to constitute at least a majority of the Board; (c)
consummation by TPG of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of TPG or the
acquisition of assets of another entity unless, following such business
combination, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were
the beneficial owners, respectively, of the outstanding shares of common stock
and outstanding voting securities of TPG immediately prior to such business
combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of,
respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined
voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation
resulting from such business combination; or (d) approval by the stockholders
of TPG of a complete liquidation or dissolution of TPG.

   Payments and benefits payable under the Employment Agreement under these
circumstances include a lump-sum cash payment of the aggregate of the following
amounts: (i) the sum of the Executive's annual base salary through the date of
termination; a pro rata portion of the greater of either the executive's
highest bonus earned under the TPG's annual incentive plans for the last three
full fiscal years preceding the change of control or the executive's annual
bonus earned during the last fiscal year prior to termination; any compensation
previously deferred by the Executive; and any accrued vacation pay; (ii) up to
three times (depending on the Executive involved) the sum of the Executive's
annual base salary and the greater of either the Executive's highest bonus
earned under the TPG's annual incentive plans for the last three full fiscal
years preceding the

                                      13



change of control or the Executive's annual bonus earned during the last fiscal
year prior to termination; and (iii) the difference between the aggregate
benefit under the Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan
benefit which the Executive would have accrued (whether or not vested) had the
Executive's employment continued for up to three years (depending on the
Executive involved) after the date of termination, and the actual vested
benefit under such plans as of the date of the Executive's termination of
employment, except that Executives aged 50 or over shall be deemed fully
eligible for retiree health benefits; continuation of welfare benefit plan
coverage for up to three years (depending on the Executive involved); and
outplacement services not to exceed 15% of base salary. Under certain
circumstances, a portion of the present value of the benefits payable under the
Employment Agreement or upon the acceleration of the vesting of all outstanding
stock options, restricted stock and performance shares could be subject to a
20% excise tax under the Internal Revenue Code and be nondeductible by TPG. TPG
has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, to reimburse the Executives for any
such excise taxes, together with any additional excise or income taxes
resulting from such reimbursement.

   EXECUTIVE OFFICER STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES.  The Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors established stock ownership guidelines for TPG's senior
executive officers. The desired level of stock ownership is to be achieved over
a period of five years from the date of becoming an executive officer.
Executive officers are expected to own TPG common stock which has a market
value equal to a minimum range from one to three times such executive's annual
base salary. Stock owned for purposes of the guidelines include: (a) shares
purchased in the open market, or upon the exercise of options; (b) shares held
in a retirement plan, including TPG common stock fund units held under The PMI
Group, Inc., Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan ("401(k) Plan"); (c) restricted
stock awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan; (d) TPG common stock equivalents
held in the Officer Deferred Compensation Plan, and (e) the market value of
vested stock options which have an exercise price below the current market
price for TPG common stock. As of April 1, 2002, Messrs. Haughton, Smith,
Seaman, Lorenzen, and Bacigalupi have met approximately 1037%, 686%, 274%,
962%, and 474% respectively, of the stock ownership guidelines based on the
closing price of TPG common stock on April 1, 2002 of $76.43 per share.

   GENERAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS.  The Named Executive Officers
participate in certain stock option, retirement and profit-sharing plans
sponsored by TPG, some of which are intended to qualify for tax-favored
treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended ("Code"). These plans
include the Equity Incentive Plan; The PMI Group, Inc. Retirement Plan
("Retirement Plan"), a defined benefit pension plan intended to qualify under
Section 401(a) of the Code; The PMI Group, Inc. Supplemental Employee
Retirement Plan ("SERP"), a nonqualified plan designed to provide benefits in
excess of those permitted to be provided under the Retirement Plan because of
the Code limitations described below; and The PMI Group, Inc. Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. The Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the
Officer Deferred Compensation Plan, which permits each participant to elect to
defer receipt of part or all of his or her eligible compensation on a pre-tax
basis. Under the Officer Deferred Compensation Plan, TPG makes a matching
contribution for each participant equal to 25% of the amount a participant has
deferred into the TPG common stock equivalent fund. The matching contribution
is made in TPG common stock equivalents and vests after three-years, except in
the event of a change of control, in which case the vesting is automatic. In
addition, the Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the
401(k) Plan, a defined contribution plan intended to qualify under Section
401(a) of the Code. TPG also makes matching and discretionary matching
contributions to the 401(k) Plan.

   The pension benefit under the Retirement Plan and SERP generally is based on
the executive's years of credited service and the average of his or her five
highest consecutive years' compensation in the last 10 years of service.
Credited service under the Retirement Plan includes only service after the
completion of TPG's initial public offering in April 1995. Credited service for
the SERP includes all service with TPG, Sears, Roebuck and Co. and Allstate
Insurance Company. Benefits are computed on a straight-line annuity basis and
are not subject to deduction for Social Security or other offset amounts.

                                      14



   The following table indicates the annual benefits the Named Executive
Officers would receive at their normal retirement date if they continue as TPG
employees at the specified levels of compensation and for the years of credited
service under the combined formulas of the Retirement Plan and the SERP.

Note: Assumes age 65 normal retirement. Amounts represent total annual benefit
payable under both the Retirement Plan and the SERP. The amount shown is for a
single life annuity. If another form of benefit is elected, such as a joint and
survivor annuity, the benefit amount will be lower.

   Compensation under the Retirement Plan and SERP is based upon the total
annual cash compensation paid to the participant (not to exceed $200,000 for
2002 under the Retirement Plan only) for services rendered to PMI and its
affiliates, including pre-tax deferrals, but excluding certain items such as
equity-based compensation and the value of employer contributions to employee
benefit plans. The benefits listed in the Pension Plan Table are not subject to
any deduction for Social Security or other offset amounts. Covered compensation
under the Retirement Plan in 2001 (without Code limitations) was $1,489,336,
$843,302, $598,506, $554,867, and $538,071 for Messrs. Haughton, Smith, Seaman,
Lorenzen, and Bacigalupi, respectively. As of December 31, 2001, Messrs.
Haughton, Smith, Seaman, Lorenzen, and Bacigalupi had approximately 32, 25, 26,
17, and 5 years of credited service, respectively, under the SERP. Messrs.
Haughton, Smith, Seaman, and Lorenzen each had 6.667 years of credited service
under the Retirement Plan. Mr. Bacigalupi had 5.167 years of credited service
under the Retirement Plan.

                            COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
                       REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

   This report is provided by the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of
the Board of Directors to assist stockholders in understanding the Committee's
objectives and procedures in establishing the compensation of TPG's Chief
Executive Officer and other senior officers of TPG.

   As members of the Committee, it is our responsibility to review and set
compensation levels of the Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers of
TPG, to evaluate the performance of management in relation to such
compensation, and to take any and all other actions regarding such matters. The
Committee sets base salary levels, annual incentive awards and long-term
incentives for those executive officers who have company-wide authority with
salaries exceeding levels set by the Committee or who are subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

   The Committee is composed of independent, non-employee members of the Board
of Directors who are not eligible to participate in any of the executive
compensation programs of TPG. The Committee met five times in 2001. The
Committee sets the overall compensation principles of TPG and reviews the
entire program at least annually for its effectiveness. Every two years, the
Committee conducts a comprehensive review of TPG's compensation philosophy,
policies and programs for its executive officers. The purpose of this review is
to ascertain whether TPG's total compensation program remains competitive to
attract, retain and motivate skilled executives who are capable of developing
and implementing a business strategy designed to build stockholder value. The
most recent comprehensive review was completed in 2001.

   The Committee's 2001 compensation actions and policies were based on
recommendations on TPG executive compensation practices from Hewitt Associates
LLC, an outside consulting firm that specializes in executive compensation,
internally generated information, comparative pay practice data, and its own
review of the status of the executive compensation program. As a result of its
comprehensive review, the Committee increased the annual and long-term
incentive target opportunities for TPG's Chief Executive Officer and the Named
Executive Officers. In addition, based on the results of the study, the
Committee implemented base salary increases that averaged 6.5% for the Named
Executive Officers (excluding the Chief Executive Officer).

   COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY.  TPG's compensation philosophy is to tie total
compensation for executives closely to the creation of stockholder value. TPG
seeks to pay its executives at competitive levels based on the scope of
responsibility applicable to each position. This philosophy is supported
through competitive base salaries, annual and long-term incentives. TPG's
competitors for executive talent are not necessarily the same companies that
would be included in an industry index established to compare stockholder
returns because TPG requires skills and perspectives from a broader range of
backgrounds. Thus, the comparable companies for purposes of executive
compensation are not necessarily limited to those contained in the industry
group index used in the performance comparison graph included in this Proxy
Statement.

   Base salary levels are defined as the median (50th percentile) level among
companies for which TPG competes for executive talent.

   Annual incentive awards are designed to focus management employees on key
financial measures that promote stockholder value through prudent growth and
profitability and are designed to provide market median

                                      16



levels of compensation for performance at target, with enhanced compensation
opportunities for superior performance relative to our financial objectives.
For example, the 2001 annual incentive award was tied to specific financial
measures supporting continued growth, profitability and increased stockholder
value. The Committee approves the targets and TPG performance measures shortly
after the beginning of each fiscal year. The Committee certifies annually that
awards payable as annual incentives correspond to performance goals and the
target level established at the beginning of the year. Each year TPG's
independent auditors perform certain agreed-upon annual incentive compensation
computation procedures and issue a report to the Committee of their results.

   Long-term incentives, generally stock options, reward management for
increasing stockholder value and are designed to develop stock ownership among
key executives. Long-term incentives seek to better align the executive's
interest with those of the stockholders and are targeted to position TPG's
executives competitively between the 50th and 75th percentile of TPG's peer
group. TPG's focus on stockholder value creation is further supported by TPG's
policy for stock ownership levels for senior executives. Stock options are
awarded on an annual basis to executives and non-executive officers and key
employees of the Company and its affiliates. Stock options and other long-term
incentive awards are made under TPG's Equity Incentive Plan.

   The Committee also considers whether compensation paid to TPG's senior
executives will be fully tax deductible to TPG. Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"), contains special rules regarding the
federal income tax deductibility of compensation paid to the CEO and to each of
the other four most highly compensated Named Executive Officers. The general
rule is that annual compensation paid to any of these executives will be
deductible only to the extent that it does not exceed $1,000,000 or qualifies
as "performance-based" compensation under Section 162(m). The Committee has
adopted a policy with respect to Section 162(m) that is designed to ensure that
the compensation program continues to meet all the current tests required for
compensation to be deductible for federal income tax purposes. The Committee
has the discretion to make nondeductible awards, to the extent consistent with
TPG's best interest, to reward employees for excellent service or recruit new
executives while taking into consideration the financial effects such action
may have on TPG.

   BASE SALARIES.  In 2001, the Committee recommended increased salaries of Mr.
Haughton and other executive officers to reflect its philosophy of pay for
performance. In 2001, Mr. Haughton's salary was increased from $575,000 to
$625,000. This increase was intended to make Mr. Haughton's salary competitive
with those companies with whom TPG compares itself and recognized the record
operating results in 2000.

   ANNUAL INCENTIVES.  The 2001 annual incentive award was based upon TPG's
results vis-a-vis the three performance measures for the year. Those measures
were net operating earnings per share, U.S. mortgage market share, and pre-tax
income from the Company's strategic investments. These three factors were
weighted 50%, 25% and 25%, respectively. No payouts are made as an annual
incentive award unless TPG earns a threshold return on average equity that is
at least four percentage points above the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield for
the year. The annual incentive awards for 2001 for the executive officers were
based solely on achieving the three TPG performance measures. Mr. Haughton
received an annual incentive award of $944,821. Mr. Haughton elected to defer a
portion of his annual incentive award.

   LONG-TERM INCENTIVES.  During 2001, executive officers received an annual
award of stock options that vest in three equal installments on the first,
second and third anniversaries of the grant. The stock options granted have a
per share exercise price equal to 100 percent of the fair market value of a
share of common stock on the grant date, with a maximum term of up to 10 years.
In prior years, performance shares were granted to Senior Vice Presidents and
above. Performance shares are payable in shares of stock or cash, as determined
by the Committee, and measure performance over a three year period. In 2001,
Mr. Haughton received a performance share payout of 7,876 shares of common
stock, representing approximately 155% of his target award established in 1998.
The other executives received the same percentage payout of performance shares.
The performance share payout was determined by performance goals, established
for the three-year cycle

                                      17



ending December 31, 2000, based upon return on average equity and the Company's
price to earnings ratio relative to other publicly-traded mortgage insurance
companies.

   In accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan and in connection with the
compensation levels approved by the Committee for key executives, Mr. Haughton
was granted a stock option in 2001 covering 75,000 shares in consideration of
his role and importance to TPG and to strongly align him with stockholder
objectives. The stock option granted to Mr. Haughton generally vests in three
equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of
grant. The stock option has an exercise price of $57.57 per share (100% of the
fair market value on the date of grant), with a maximum term of 10 years.

                            AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

   The role of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its
oversight of the Company's financial reporting process. The Board of Directors,
in its business judgment, has determined that all members of the Committee are
"independent" as required by, and meet the experience requirements of,
applicable listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange. The Committee
operates pursuant to a Charter that was last amended and restated by the Board
on March 5, 2002. As set forth in the Charter, management of the Company is
responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company's
financial statements, the Company's accounting and financial reporting
principles and internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance
with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent
auditors are responsible for auditing the Company's financial statements and
expressing an opinion as to their conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

   In the performance of its oversight function, the Committee has considered
and discussed the audited financial statements with management and the
independent auditors. The Committee has also discussed with the independent
auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as currently in effect.
Finally, the Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from
the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard
No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as currently in effect,
and written confirmations from management with respect to internal audit
services provided by the auditors, has considered whether the provision of
internal audit services by the independent auditors to the Company is
compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence and has discussed with
the auditors the auditors' independence.

   The Audit Committee performs duties set forth in its Charter. The Charter
provides that the Audit Committee shall review, evaluate, and make
recommendations with respect to financial statement preparation and related
matters. The Charter gives the Audit Committee the ability to properly monitor
the integrity of the financial statements, the compliance of the Company and
the independence and performance of the company's auditors in accordance with
the Charter.

   The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the
practice of auditing or accounting and are not experts in the fields of
accounting or auditing, including in respect of auditor independence. Members
of the Committee rely without independent verification on the information
provided to them and on the representations made by management and the
independent accountants. Accordingly, the Audit Committee's oversight does not
provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained
appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate
internal control and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting
standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit
Committee's considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that
the Company's financial statements are complete and accurate, that the audit of
the Company's financial statements has been carried out in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or that
the Company's auditors are in fact "independent."

   Based upon the reports and discussions described in this report, and subject
to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the Committee referred
to above and in the Charter, the Committee recommended to the Board that the
audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

          COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

   The Compensation Committee is comprised solely of outside Directors. The
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consists of Messrs. Zech,
Chair, Ocampo, Vice Chair, Hedien, Roach and Dr. Rosen. No executive officer of
TPG served on the compensation committee of another entity or on any other
committee of the board of directors of another entity performing similar
functions during the last fiscal year.

            SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

   Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires TPG's
Directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10 percent of
TPG's common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and
reports of changes in ownership of the common stock. Directors, officers and
more than 10 percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish
TPG with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

   Based solely upon a review of the copies of these Form 3, 4 and 5 reports
received by TPG, and certain written representations received from TPG's
directors and executive officers, TPG believes that, during 2001, all reports
required to be filed under Section 16(a) were filed on a timely basis except as
follows: The inadvertent failure to file two Form 4's relating to two
dispositions of TPG common stock in 1999 by Ms. Widener, a member of the Board
of Directors; and the late filing of a Form 4 due to a clerical error in form
processing relating to a purchase of TPG common stock in April 2001 by Mr.
Thomas, a member of the Board of Directors.

                CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

   None.

         ITEM 2:  RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

   The Board of Directors has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as independent public
auditors to audit the financial statements of TPG for 2002. During 2001, Ernst
& Young LLP audited the financial statements of TPG and performed certain
internal audit and tax related services. One or more representatives of Ernst &
Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and
will be available to respond to appropriate questions. This proposal is
presented to the stockholders in order to permit them to participate in the
selection of TPG's auditors. For approval, a majority of shares present and
entitled to vote must be voted "for" this Item. Abstentions will be counted as
shares present at the meeting and will have the effect of a vote against this
Item. Broker non-votes will not be counted as shares voted and will have no
effect on the outcome of the vote. If the stockholders do not ratify the
appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, the Board of Directors of TPG will consider
the appointment of other auditors. Ernst & Young LLP will cease providing
internal audit services to TPG in 2002 as soon as a replacement is chosen by
the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

   Commencing in 2002, the Audit Committee has decided that the internal audit
functions will not be provided by the independent auditors. In addition, as to
the provision of non-audit work by the independent auditors, the Audit
Committee has established procedures set forth in its Charter (attached hereto
as Appendix A) for prior and subsequent review of such services.

   Audit Fees.  The aggregate fees billed, or expected to be billed, by Ernst &
Young LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's
annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and for
the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q for that fiscal year are $320,000.

                                      21



   Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees.  No fees were
billed by Ernst & Young LLP for professional services rendered for information
technology services relating to financial information systems design and
implementation during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

   All Other Fees.  The aggregate fees billed, or expected to be billed, by
Ernst & Young LLP for services rendered to the Company, other than services
described above under "Audit Fees" and "Financial Information Systems Design
and Implementation Fees," during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 are
$1,481,000. Of this amount, $1,082,000 represented fees for audit related
services, including the audit of statutory-basis financial statements and
benefit plans, consents related to regulatory filings and internal audit
services. The balance of the All Other Fees related primarily to tax, due
diligence and actuarial services.

   THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE
PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP.

                 ITEM 3:  APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TO AMEND TPG'S
              RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF  INCORPORATION TO INCREASE
               THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF  COMMON STOCK

   The Board of Directors has proposed that stockholders approve an amendment
to TPG's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares
of authorized Common Stock of TPG to 250,000,000 shares from the currently
authorized number of 125,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors has declared
the proposed amendment to be advisable and has submitted it to a vote by the
stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

   On February 20, 2002, the Board of Directors indicated its intent to declare
a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a stock dividend if, and only if, the
proposed amendment to TPG's Restated Certificate of Incorporation is approved
by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, and the number of shares of
authorized Common Stock is thereby increased to 250,000,000. In this event, it
is the Board of Directors' intention that the additional stock representing the
dividend will be distributed on June 17, 2002, to record holders of Common
Stock as of the close of business on May 31, 2002.

   If the proposed amendment is approved by the stockholders, TPG plans to file
a Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation as soon
as practicable following the Annual Meeting to increase the number of shares of
authorized Common Stock to 250,000,000.

   On April 1, 2002, of the 125,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock, a
total of 44,906,219 shares were outstanding, approximately 8.0 million shares
were held in treasury and approximately 12.1 million shares were reserved for
potential issuance in connection with TPG's obligations to issue stock in
connection with outstanding convertible securities and employee compensation
plans, including TPG's stock option plans, employee stock purchase plans and
401(k) plans. If the proposed amendment is approved by the stockholders, the
reserved shares will be adjusted in accordance with the 2-for-1 stock split.

   In addition to enabling the proposed 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a
stock dividend, the additional shares will enhance TPG's flexibility in
connection with possible future actions, such as acquisitions of property and
securities of other companies, financings, stock splits, stock dividends, and
other corporate purposes. The Board of Directors will determine whether, when
and on what terms the issuance of shares of Common Stock may be warranted in
connection with any of the foregoing purposes. The Board of Directors believes
that it is beneficial to TPG to have the additional shares available for such
purposes without delay or the necessity of a special meeting of stockholders.
Other than the proposed 2-for-1 stock split and the obligations referred to
above for which shares of common stock have already been reserved, TPG has no
immediate plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings with respect to
the issuance of any of the additional shares of Common Stock which would be
authorized by the proposed amendment.

                                      22



   If the proposed amendment is approved by the stockholders, the additional
shares will be available for issuance from time to time without further action
by the stockholders (unless required by applicable law, regulatory agencies or
by the rules of any stock exchange on which TPG's securities may then be
listed) and without first offering those shares to the stockholders.
Stockholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to the Common Stock.
The issuance of Common Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock, on
other than a pro-rata basis would result in the dilution of a present
stockholder's interest in TPG.

   TPG has not proposed the increase in the authorized number of shares with
the intention of using the additional shares for anti-takeover purposes,
although TPG could theoretically use the additional shares to make it more
difficult or to discourage an attempt to acquire control of TPG. As of this
date, TPG is unaware of any pending or threatened efforts to acquire control of
TPG.

   For approval, a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock must be
voted "for" this Item. Abstentions will be counted as shares present at the
meeting and will have the effect of a vote against this Item. Broker non-votes
will have the effect of a vote against this Item.

   At the Annual Meeting, the following resolution will be introduced:

   RESOLVED, that the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of this
Corporation, be amended by deleting the first sentence of Article Four in its
entirety and inserting, in lieu thereof, the following new first sentence of
Article Four, providing in its entirety as follows:

   "The total number of shares of common stock that the corporation shall have
the authority to issue is 250,000,000, par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock")."

   The Proxyholders intend to vote the shares represented by proxy in favor of
the proposed amendment, except to the extent a stockholder votes against or
abstains from voting on this proposal.

   THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENT TO THE RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, AS AMENDED, TO INCREASE
THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

                                 OTHER MATTERS

   The Board of Directors does not know of any matters to be acted upon at the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders except as specified in the Notice of Annual
Meeting of Stockholders. However, as to any other business that may properly
come before the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, it is intended that proxies, in
the form enclosed, will be voted in respect thereof in accordance with the
judgment of the persons voting such proxies in consultation with the Board of
Directors.

                              THE PMI GROUP, INC.

                            Audit Committee Charter

   The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board to assist the Board in
monitoring (1) the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, (2)
the compliance by the Company with management's policies and procedures
regarding legal and regulatory requirements and (3) the independence of the
external auditors and the performance of the Company's internal and external
auditors.

   The Audit Committee and its members shall meet the independence, experience
and other requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. In particular, the
Chairman of the Audit Committee shall have accounting or related financial
management expertise. The members of the Audit Committee shall be appointed by
the Board on the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee.

   The Audit Committee shall have the authority to retain special legal,
accounting or other consultants to advise the Committee. The Audit Committee
may request any officer or employee of the Company or the Company's outside
counsel or independent auditor to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet
with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee. The Audit Committee may
also meet with the Company's investment bankers or financial analysts who
follow the Company.

   The Audit Committee shall make regular reports to the Board.

   The Audit Committee shall:

    1. Review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter annually, recommend any
       proposed changes to the Board for approval and publish it in accordance
       with SEC regulations.

    2. Review the annual audited financial statements with management,
       including major issues regarding accounting and auditing principles and
       practices, including off-balance sheet structures, as well as the
       adequacy of internal controls that could significantly affect the
       Company's financial statements.

    3. Review an analysis prepared by management and the independent auditor of
       significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection
       with the preparation of the Company's financial statements, including an
       analysis of the effect of estimates and judgments by management that
       would result in lower revenues and /or profits and in higher asset
       write-offs and /or greater liabilities on the Company's financial
       statements and a description of any transactions as to which management
       obtained Statement on Auditing Standards No. 50 letters.

    4. Review with management and the independent auditor the effect of
       regulatory and accounting initiatives.

    5. Review with management and the independent auditor the Company's
       quarterly financial statements (including the results of the independent
       auditors' reviews of the quarterly financial statements) prior to the
       release of quarterly earnings, provided that the Audit Committee can be
       represented by its Chair.

    6. Meet periodically with management to review the Company's major
       financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor
       and control such exposures.

    7. Review major changes to the Company's auditing and accounting principles
       and practices as suggested by the independent auditor, internal auditors
       or management.

    8. Recommend to the Board the appointment of the independent auditor, which
       firm is ultimately accountable to the Audit Committee and the Board.

    9. Review the experience and qualifications of the senior members of the
       independent auditor team and the quality control procedures of the
       independent auditor.

   10. Review the aggregate annual fees billed by the independent auditor for
       the most recently completed fiscal year for audit services, financial
       information systems design and implementation services, and all other

       audit related services, and approve the fees to be paid to the
       independent auditor for audit services.

   11. Approve in advance the retention of the independent auditor for any
       non-audit service and related fee if such fee is $50,000 or more, or if
       the non-audit service does not relate to due diligence, taxes, or
       litigation support; and approve all other non-audit services and the
       fees for such services within a reasonable time after they are incurred
       but no later than the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting.

   12. Receive periodic reports from the independent auditor regarding the
       auditor's independence in accordance with applicable standards, discuss
       such reports with the auditor, consider whether the provision of
       non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the auditor's
       independence and, if so determined by the Audit Committee, recommend
       that the Board take appropriate action to satisfy itself of the
       independence of the auditor.

   13. Evaluate together with the Board the performance of the independent
       auditor and whether it is appropriate to adopt a policy of rotating
       independent auditors on a regular basis (e.g., independent auditor
       rotation commensurate with SEC guidelines relating to rotation of
       engagement partners). If so determined by the Audit Committee, recommend

       legal requirements and the Company's Business Ethics Handbook, including
       disclosures of insider and affiliated party transactions.

   21. Discuss with the independent auditor the matters required to be
       discussed by all relevant Statements on Auditing Standards, including
       but not limited to Statement on Auditing Standard No. 61, relating to
       the conduct of the audit.

   22. Review with management and the independent auditor any correspondence
       with regulators or governmental agencies and any employee complaints or
       published reports which raise material issues regarding the Company's
       financial statements or accounting policies.

   23. Review with the independent and internal auditors any problems or
       difficulties such auditors may have encountered and any management or
       other letter provided by the auditors and the Company's response to that
       letter. Such review should include:

       a. Any difficulties encountered in the course of the audit work,
          including any restrictions on the scope of activities or access to
          required information, and any disagreement with management.

       b. Any changes required in the planned scope of the audits.

       c. The internal auditor's responsibilities, budget and staffing.

       material impact on the financial statements, the Company's compliance
       policies and any material reports or inquiries received from regulators
       or governmental agencies.

   27. Meet at least quarterly with the chief financial officer, the senior
       internal auditing executive and the independent auditor in separate
       executive sessions.

   28. Meet at least four times annually with agendas for such meetings
       prepared or approved in advance by the Audit Committee Chair.

   While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in
this Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct
audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements are complete and
accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
This is the responsibility of management and the independent auditor. Nor is it
the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct investigations, to resolve
disagreements, if any, between management and the independent auditor, or to
assure compliance with laws and regulations and the Company's Business Ethics
Handbook, or to assure auditor independence.

                                      27
