         EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS




I, Robert W. Fiondella, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Phoenix Companies, Inc. ("PNX"), state and attest that:

(1)   To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports of PNX, and, except as corrected or supplemented in a
      subsequent covered report:

o        no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
          the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed); and

o        no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
          circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case
          of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed).

(2)   I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the audit committee of PNX.

(3)   In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

o        the Form 10-K of PNX for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001;
