                          (PAR VALUE $0.01 PER SHARE)
 
  This Prospectus relates to 1,897,350 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of The PMI Group, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("TPG" and on a consolidated basis, the "Company"), for
reoffer and resale from time to time by The Allstate Corporation (the "Selling
Stockholder" or "The Allstate Corporation"). See "Selling Stockholder." The
Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the
Selling Stockholder.
 
  The Common Stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange and the Pacific
Exchange under the symbol PMA. On March 25, 1998, the average of the high and
low price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $81.47 per
share.
 
  The Selling Stockholder intends to dispose of the Shares offered hereby from
time to time in one or more of the following transactions: (a) to underwriters
who will acquire the Shares for their own account and resell them in one or
more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public
offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale (any public
offering price and any discount or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to
dealers may be changed from time to time); (b) through brokers, acting as
principal or agent, in transactions (which may involve crosses and block
transactions) in the over-the-counter market, in special offerings, or
otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related
to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices; (c)
directly or through brokers or agents in private sales at negotiated prices;
or (d) by any other legally available means. See "Plan of Distribution."
 
  The Shares being offered hereby were retained by Allstate Insurance Company,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Selling Stockholder, at the time of the
initial public offering of seventy percent (70%) of TPG's Common Stock on
April 18, 1995 (the "IPO"). The Shares offered hereunder have been registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a Separation Agreement
entered into in connection with the IPO. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement,
TPG has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholder against certain civil
liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). Pursuant to such Separation Agreement, TPG
is also required to bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with such
registration, other than underwriting discounts and commissions relating to
the Shares, if any, which will be paid by the Selling Stockholder. See
"Selling Stockholder."
 
  The Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealers, agents or underwriters which
participate in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions
or purchase discounts received by them may be deemed to be commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act. If required, the names of any
underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents involved in the sale of the Shares
and the applicable commission or discount, if any, will be set forth in an

(1) Assumes the Selling Stockholder sells all the Shares. On April 15, 1998,
    the 10,500,000 Exchangeable Notes which the Selling Stockholder issued to
    the public concurrently with TPG's IPO in April 1995 must be mandatorily
    exchanged. The Selling Stockholder has the option of exchanging shares of
    Common Stock for the 10,500,000 Exchangeable Notes or paying cash of
    equivalent value. If the average closing sale price of Common Stock on the
    New York Stock Exchange over the 20 trading days preceding April 15, 1998,
    equals or exceeds $41.50 per share and the Selling Stockholder elects to
    exchange Common Stock for the 10,500,000 Exchangeable Notes, 8,602,650
    shares of Common Stock would be payable to the holders of the 10,500,000
    Exchangeable Notes. If the Selling Stockholder elects to deliver cash for
    the 10,500,000 Exchangeable Notes, an amount of cash of equivalent value to
    such Common Stock would be payable to the holders of the 10,500,000
    Exchangeable Notes. The Selling Stockholder is required to provide notice
    by April 6, 1998 to record holders of the 10,500,000 Exchangeable Notes of
    its irrevocable election to exchange Common Stock or cash for the
    10,500,000 Exchangeable Notes. Assuming the Selling Stockholder exchanges
    Common Stock for the Exchangeable Notes on April 15, 1998 and assuming the
    sale of any remaining shares of Common Stock held by the Selling
    Stockholder pursuant to this Prospectus, the Selling Stockholder's and
    Allstate Insurance Company's remaining ownership of Common Stock would be
    eliminated. See "Relationship Between the Company and the Selling
    Stockholder," below.

  The Shares being offered hereby were retained by Allstate Insurance Company
at the time of the IPO in April 1995. In connection with the IPO, TPG, PMI,
the Selling Stockholder and Allstate Insurance Company entered into a
Separation Agreement, dated April 18, 1995 (the "Separation Agreement"),
pursuant to which TPG granted the Selling Stockholder certain rights to
require TPG to register for sale under the Securities Act shares of Common
Stock held by the Selling Stockholder or its affiliates ("demand
registration"). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Selling Stockholder
may require an unlimited number of such demand registrations on Form S-3, with
no more than two in a calendar year. Additionally, TPG has granted to the
Selling Stockholder the right to participate in any TPG-initiated registration
of Common Stock (a "piggy-back registration"). TPG received a request for such
a demand registration from the Selling Stockholder and, pursuant to the
requirements of the Separation Agreement, has caused the Shares to be
registered under the Securities Act. In addition, pursuant to the Separation
Agreement, TPG is required to use its best efforts to keep such registration
continuously effective for a period of up to one year or until such earlier
date when the distribution described in this Prospectus has been completed.
 
  Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, TPG is required to pay the expenses
incurred in connection with this registration, other than underwriting
discounts and commissions relating to the Shares (which will be paid by the
Selling Stockholder). TPG has also agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholder
against certain civil liabilities, including certain liabilities under the
Securities Act.
 
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE SELLING STOCKHOLDER
 
  Set forth below is a description of certain agreements between TPG, PMI, the
Selling Stockholder and its affiliates. Mr. Liddy, Chairman of the Board of
TPG, also is President and Chief Operating Officer of the Selling Stockholder
and Allstate Insurance Company.
 
  In December 1993, PMI entered into an agreement (the "Reinsurance Treaty")
with Forestview Mortgage Insurance Co. ("Forestview"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Allstate Insurance Company, whereby Forestview agreed to
reinsure all liabilities (net of amounts collected from third party reinsurers
and indemnitors) in connection with PMI's mortgage pool insurance business in
exchange for premiums received. In 1994, Forestview also agreed that as soon
as practicable after November 1, 1994, Forestview and PMI would seek
regulatory approval for the Reinsurance Treaty to be deemed to be an
assumption agreement and that, upon receipt of the requisite approvals,
Forestview would assume such liabilities. The parties are in the process of
seeking regulatory approval to complete the assumption of the mortgage pool
insurance policies. Until Forestview has assumed directly such mortgage pool
insurance policies, PMI will remain primarily liable on the unassumed
policies. Pursuant to this agreement, during 1997, PMI ceded approximately
$11.7 million of pool premiums to Forestview and Forestview reimbursed PMI for
claims on the covered policies in the amount of approximately $61.4 million.
 
  On October 28, 1994, TPG entered into a Runoff Support Agreement with
Allstate Insurance Company (the "Runoff Support Agreement") to replace various
capital support commitments that Allstate Insurance Company had previously
provided to PMI. Allstate Insurance Company agreed to pay claims on certain
insurance policies issued by PMI prior to October 28, 1994, if PMI's financial
condition deteriorates below specified levels, or if a third party brings a
claim thereunder. Alternatively, Allstate Insurance Company may make
contributions directly to PMI or TPG. In the event that Allstate Insurance
Company makes payments or contributions under the Runoff Support Agreement,
Allstate Insurance Company would receive subordinated debt or preferred stock
of PMI or TPG in return. During 1997, no payment obligation arose under the
Runoff Support Agreement.
 
  In 1995, TPG and Forestview entered into a Services Agreement whereby
Forestview pays fees to TPG based on TPG's costs incurred in providing
operational support to Forestview. Pursuant to such agreement, during 1997
Forestview paid approximately $840,303 to PMI.
 
  In 1997, PMI paid approximately $163,447 to Allstate Insurance Company for
support provided by the Allstate Research and Planning Center in connection
with PMI's automated underwriting risk analysis system and other risk
management related analysis. PMI expects to continue to obtain such services
in the future.
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
  The Separation Agreement also provides, that for so long as the Selling
Stockholder and its affiliates own at least 30% of TPG's Common Stock, the
Selling Stockholder will be allowed to designate for nomination to TPG's Board
of Directors two directors who may be members of the Selling Stockholder's
management. TPG and the Selling Stockholder have agreed to cooperate to cause
their respective nominees to be elected to TPG's Board of Directors.
 
  Concurrently with the IPO, the Selling Stockholder sold 10,500,000
Exchangeable Notes due April 15, 1998 (the "Exchangeable Notes"). At maturity,
on April 15, 1998, the Exchangeable Notes must be mandatorily exchanged with
the holders thereof receiving no less than 8,602,650 shares of Common Stock
and no more than 10,500,000 shares, depending on the market price of the
Common Stock, subject to adjustment and to the Selling Stockholder's option to
pay an amount in cash in lieu of such mandatory exchange. The Selling
Stockholder is required to provide notice by April 6, 1998 to record holders
of the Exchangeable Notes of its irrevocable election to exchange Common Stock
or cash for the 10,500,000 Exchangeable Notes. The Selling Stockholder has
entered into a contract to purchase from Allstate Insurance Company at or
prior to maturity of the Exchangeable Notes a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the maximum number that could be exchanged under the outstanding
Exchangeable Notes at a purchase price per share equal to the IPO price less
the underwriting discount plus a factor reflecting carrying costs from the
date of the IPO until the consummation of the purchase. The indenture pursuant
to which the Exchangeable Notes were issued contains a covenant that the
Selling Stockholder directly, or indirectly through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
will, at all times prior to maturity of the Exchangeable Notes, own a number
of shares of Common Stock that is at least equal to the maximum number that
could be exchanged at maturity of the outstanding Exchangeable Notes. The
Selling Stockholder may, but is not obligated to, exchange Common Stock with
holders of the Exchangeable Notes upon their mandatory exchange on April 15,
1998. If the average closing sale price of the Common Stock on the New York
Stock Exchange for the 20 trading days preceding April 15, 1998, equals or
exceeds $41.50 per share then 8,602,650 shares of Common Stock would be due to
the holders of Exchangeable Notes on April 15, 1998. Upon maturity of the
Exchangeable Notes, such shares of Common Stock will be available for sale by
holders of Exchangeable Notes who receive such shares or, in the event the
Selling Stockholder exercises its option to deliver cash in lieu of such
shares, by the Selling Stockholder. Assuming the Selling Stockholder exchanges
Common Stock for the Exchangeable Notes at maturity and assuming the sale of
any remaining shares of Common Stock held by the Selling Stockholder pursuant
to this Prospectus, the Selling Stockholder's and Allstate Insurance Company's
remaining ownership of Common Stock would be eliminated.
 
                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
  The Selling Stockholder has informed TPG that it intends to dispose of the
Shares offered hereby from time to time in one or more of the following
transactions: (a) to underwriters who will acquire the Shares for their own
account and resell them in one or more transactions, including negotiated
transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined
at the time of sale (any public offering price and any discount or concessions
allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time); (b)
through brokers, acting as principal or agent, in transactions (which may
involve crosses and block transactions) in the over-the-counter market, in
special offerings, or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices
or at fixed prices; (c) directly or through brokers or agents in private sales
at negotiated prices; or (d) by any other legally available means.
 
  Broker-dealers participating in any such transactions as agent may receive
commissions from the Selling Stockholder (and, if they act as agent for the
purchaser of such shares, from such purchaser) and may effect resales through
other broker-dealers, in which case discounts or commissions may be allowed or
reallowed. Participating broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholder
to sell a specified number of Shares at a
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
stipulated price per Share and, to the extent such broker-dealer is unable to
do so as agent for the Selling Stockholder, to purchase as principal any
unsold Shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer's commitment
to the Selling Stockholder.
 
  The Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealers, agents or underwriters that
participate in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions
or purchase discounts received by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
 
  Under the securities laws of certain jurisdictions, the Shares may not be
offered or sold in such jurisdictions except through persons who are
registered or licensed brokers or dealers in such jurisdictions.
 
  Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, TPG has agreed to pay the expenses
incident to the registration of the Shares offered by the Selling Stockholder
hereby, except that the Selling Stockholder will pay all underwriting
discounts and selling commissions, if any. TPG has agreed to indemnify the
Selling Stockholder against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act.
 
                         VALIDITY OF THE COMMON STOCK
 
  The validity of the Common Stock will be passed upon for TPG by Victor J.
Bacigalupi, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of The PMI
Group, Inc.
