                  [PMI NEWS RELEASE LETTERHEAD APPEARS HERE]


                                                                    EXHIBIT 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

                    THE PMI GROUP, INC. REPORTS RECORD THIRD
                  QUARTER AND NINE-MONTH NEW INSURANCE WRITTEN
                                        
     SAN FRANCISCO,  OCTOBER 14, 1998 --- The PMI Group, Inc. (NYSE:PMA)
announced today that new insurance written for its mortgage insurance
subsidiary, PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. (PMI), increased 73 percent to $7.7
billion in the third quarter of 1998, compared to $4.5 billion a year ago.  PMI
also had record new insurance written for the first nine months of the year of
$19.5 billion, compared to $11.1 billion in the first nine months of 1997. 
Both insurance in force and primary risk in force grew to historic levels.
Insurance in force grew by $1.3 billion for the quarter, a 1.6 percent increase
from second quarter 1998, while risk in force grew by $0.8 billion, 2.6 
percent during the quarter. Moreover, committed volume trends for the nine 
months ending September 30, 1998 remained strong at 74 percent over the same 
period a year ago.

     Operating earnings per share, excluding capital gains, were $1.43 for the
third quarter of 1998, compared to $1.25 for the third quarter of 1997, an
increase of 14 percent.  Net income for the third quarter was $53.7 million or
$1.73 per share, compared with $41.9 million or $1.26 per share for the third
quarter of 1997.  For the first nine months of 1998, net income totaled $146.3
million or $4.58 per share, compared to $133.4 million or $3.95 per share in the
first nine months of 1997.

     "Our third quarter results with its record volume of new insurance written,
continued growth in our insurance in force, and strong profits is a powerful
affirmation of PMI's quality growth strategy," said W. Roger Haughton,
chairman and chief executive officer of The PMI Group, Inc. and PMI. "The
business we have written this year is high quality with low interest rates
that we expect will generate solid earnings for the next several years. I
believe PMI's strong market
<PAGE>
 
share performance in the first half of 1998, which exceeded our share of
insurance in force, will persist for the rest of the year. A continuation of
that trend should create growth in insurance in force in the fourth quarter,
even with relatively high levels of refinance activity."

     "We continually review the impact of high levels of mortgage refinance
activity on the company in the context of PMI's and the mortgage insurance
industry's historical experience," Mr. Haughton continued.  "Industry
estimates for the size of 1999's mortgage market vary from $1.0 to $1.4
trillion, a relatively wide band. With a market in the higher end of the 
estimate range PMI believes it will have the opportunity to write a book of new
insurance written that resembles the 1998 book, with low mortgage rates and
sound credit quality. With a market in the lower range of estimates, PMI
believes persistency should increase, which should provide an added impetus to
insurance in force, and earnings growth."

     Total revenue growth for the third quarter was led by net premiums earned
of $127.3 million, an increase of 8 percent over the third quarter of 1997,
and net investment income of $20.7 million, compared to $21.4 million a year
ago.  Realized capital gains were $14.2 million for the third quarter, compared
to $0.3 million for the prior year period, and other revenue was $5.1 million,
compared to $1.9 million a year ago.  Total revenues for the Company were $167.4
million in the third quarter, compared to $141.2 million for the prior year
period.

     Another component of PMI's growth strategy, CMG, PMI's joint venture with
CUNA Mutual, reported $1.77 billion new insurance written year-to-date, and
insurance in force of $3.77 billion, a 59 percent increase since December 31,
1997. CMG has earned $4.17 million year-to-date. As of October 1, 1998 PMI has
acquired an additional 5 percent of CMG Mortgage Insurance Company bringing our
ownership stake to 50 percent.

     The Company repurchased 1,103,500 shares of its common stock during the
third quarter of 1998 and completed the stock repurchase plan announced on
November 19, 1997.  As of  September 30, 1998, the Company had 30,341,545 common
shares outstanding.
<PAGE>
 
     Reserves for the quarter increased $6.9 million to $208.7 million. The
percentage of PMI's primary loans in default at September 30, 1998 was 2.20
percent, compared to 2.29 percent at September 30, 1997. Primary direct claims
paid by PMI totaled $93.8 million through September 30, 1998, compared to $110.9
million as of September 30, 1997, led by a quarter over quarter decrease of 22
percent. PMI'S average claim size year-to-date was $23,795 compared to $26,521
FOR 1997. Direct claims paid for California were $46.9 million year-to-date in
the third quarter, compared to $72.2 million a year ago, a decrease of 35
percent. Average claim size for California year-to-date was $27,288 compared to
$30,437 for 1997.

     PMI's risk in force increased to $18.8 billion at September 30, 1998 from
$18.0 billion at September 30, 1997.  PMI's primary insurance in force was $78.9
billion at September 30, 1998, compared to $77.8 billion at September 30, 1997.
Persistency, or the percentage of insurance remaining in force compared to one
year prior, was 71.0 percent at September 30, 1998, compared with 82.5 percent
at September 30, 1997.

     In order to assist our shareholders and stock analysts in their evaluation
of our company, we have expanded our disclosure of financial and operating
information with this earnings release.  In our income statement we have
replaced an expense line item, "Underwriting and other expenses" with two new
expense line items, "Policy acquisition costs" and "Other operating expenses."
In Other Statistical Information we have added two line items, "Direct primary
claims paid number (year-to-date)" and "Average Claim Size."  We have also added
those same line items in the portion of Other Statistical Information that deals
with PMI's California Portfolio.  Finally we have added to Other Statistical
Information a section that sets forth an Analysis of Deferred Acquisition Costs
for the quarter and the first nine months of 1998 with comparative information
for the same time periods in 1997. A chart that shows the relationship
between PMI's persistency rate, the size of the mortgage origination market and
the percentage of refinance mortgages in the market is available upon request.

     The PMI Group, Inc. is headquartered in San Francisco and through its
subsidiary, PMI, is the third largest private mortgage insurer in the United
States based on 1997 year-end insurance in force.  In addition to private
mortgage insurance, The PMI Group, Inc., through its subsidiaries, is a leader
in risk management technology, and provides various products and services for
the home mortgage finance industry, as well as title insurance.  This release

     The statements in this press release relating to 1998 or 1999 (or
assumptions underlying such matters) that are not historical facts, and that
relate to future plans, events or performance, or are preceded by, followed by
or that include the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates", or
similar expressions, including, without limitation (i) statements relating to
low interest rates and the quality of 1998 business and how such business is
expected to generate solid earnings for the next several years; (ii) statements

<PAGE>
 
relating to market share performance for the remainder of 1998 and 1999, (iii)
statements relating to growth in insurance in force for the remainder of 1998
and 1999; (iv) statements relating to levels of persistency and new insurance
written for the remainder of 1998 and 1999, and (v) statements relating to
levels of insurance in force and risk in force for the remainder of 1998 and
1999 are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve a number
of risks or uncertainties including, but not limited to, the factors listed
below that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from
those expressed. A number of factors affecting PMI and the mortgage industry in
general could cause claims on policies issued by PMI to increase and this could
materially adversely affect The PMI Group's financial condition and results of
operations. The management of The PMI Group believes that the loss experience of
PMI could be materially and adversely affected by economic recessions, declining
housing values, higher unemployment rates, deteriorating borrower credit, rising
interest rates, legislation impacting borrower's rights or a combination of such
factors, which might have nationwide impact or a disproportionate impact on
regional economic conditions and demand for housing generally. In addition,
contract underwriting is now the principal means by which the Company sells
mortgage insurance and is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including
availability of qualified personnel, price competition, and timely development
of computer systems needed to process the increased volume of contract
underwriting activity. The inability of the Company to remain competitive in
providing contract underwriting may materially and adversely impact the
Company's results of operations and financial condition. A decrease in
persistency, resulting from policy cancellations of older books of business
affected by refinancings (which are affected, among other things by decreases in
interest rates), may materially and adversely impact the level or rate of growth
of insurance in force or risk in force and consequently have similar impacts on
the Company's results of operations and financial condition. Changes in
legislation which affects the ability of the Federal National Mortgage
Association ("Fannie Mae") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
("Freddie Mac") to offer a substitute for mortgage insurance, including self-
insurance and alternative forms of credit support, or for the Federal Housing
Administration ("FHA") or the          
<PAGE>

Veterans Administration ("VA") to increase statutory lending limits or other
expansion eligibility for the FHA and VA would likely have an adverse effect on
the competitive position of PMI and consequently could materially and adversely
affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Finally,
other factors that may materially and adversely impact the Company's results of
operations and financial condition include the size of the mortgage origination
market, mortgage insurance industry volumes of new business, greater than
anticipated policy cancellations or lower than projected persistency resulting
in declines in insurance in force, the failure of mortgage insurance commitments
to convert into new insurance written, the impact of competitive underwriting
criteria and products including pool insurance and risk sharing structured
transactions, regulatory responses to the Company's product offerings, changes
in the performance of financial markets, the demand for and the acceptance of
the Company's products, decreased profit margin on the Company's products, the
impact of expanded financial remedies provided to contract underwriting
customers, changes in government regulations or interpretations regarding the
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, changes in statutory charters,
regulations and coverage requirements of the government sponsored enterprises,
banks and savings institutions, customer consolidation and other risk factors
listed from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission
filings.

EXPLANATION OF DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS
- -----------------------------------------

The PMI Group, Inc. (PMI) defers certain costs related to the acquisition of
primary mortgage insurance and amortizes these costs against related premium
revenue, in order to match costs and revenues in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These acquisition costs "vary with and
are primarily related" to the acquisition of new business. Specific costs PMI
defers include field underwriting, field sales, and national accounts. To the
extent PMI's wholly owned subsidiary, PMI Mortgage Services Co. (MSC) is
compensated by customers for contract underwriting, those underwriting costs are
not deferred.

PMI's DAC methodology was consistently applied for almost 20 years, until the
introduction of a monthly Premium Payment Policy ("monthlies"). This methodology
would not give a result consistent with GAAP for monthlies, so a monthly
methodology was developed. Under the monthly methodology, DAC is amortized by
PMI on an accelerated basis over 24 months rather than the 6-8 year average
policy life. PMI believes this amortization method is appropriately
conservative, and was selected so that deferred costs will have been fully
amortized prior to the peak claims paying period.

The DAC asset is affected by: (a) acquisition costs deferred in a period and (b)
amortization of previously deferred costs in such period. In periods where there
is growth in premiums (and therefore acquisition costs), the DAC asset will
increase because the amount of acquisition costs being deferred exceeds the
amount being amortized to expense.

Acquisition costs deferred by PMI over recent quarters have increased due to a
combination of the increase in NIW plus the increased cost of acquiring business
(i.e., contract underwriting).
