JACKSONVILLE , FL – October 3, 2006 – Kemper Auto and Home is pleased to announce the New York release of its new homeowners program Kemper Fusion.

The new program offers many valuable sales options for Kemper's independent agents including 24 pricing points and new rating characteristics. It also pairs expanded market-leading coverage options and competitive rates to give customers peace of mind.

“The program has vastly improved our ability to offer effective pricing in our existing target market and in a larger spectrum of the market,” said Rosanne Fallon, Kemper's Northeast Regional Manager. “All around, this is a tremendous improvement to our homeowners pricing methodology.”

Currently in 10 states including New York, plans are in place to implement Kemper Fusion in additional states soon.

Kemper Fusion is available to agents through RightPrice Web, Kemper's one-stop website for policy quoting, issuance and maintenance. For more information about Kemper Auto and Home, visit www.KemperAutoandHome.com .
