NEW YORK, NY – July 21, 2021 — Global Atlantic Financial Group (Global Atlantic), a leading U.S.-focused annuity and life insurance company, today announced that its subsidiary, Forethought Life Insurance Company, has been named a Ward’s 50® top life and health insurance company for the twelfth consecutive year.
Forethought Life Insurance Company is the primary issuer of annuities and preneed life insurance products for Global Atlantic. No other company that offers preneed life insurance has been named to the list each of the last twelve years.
“Our business is built on trust and integrity,” said Dave Wilken, Co-Head of Individual Markets at Global Atlantic. “Ward’s recognition over twelve consecutive years is truly and honor and a testament to our commitment to managing the business responsibly for our clients.”
Annually, Ward analyzes the financial performance of more than 700 life and health insurance companies in the United States based on publicly available data to identify the top performers. Each Ward’s 50 company has passed all safety and consistency screens and achieved superior performance over the course of five years.
Insurance companies must pass minimum thresholds of assets and return levels, among other metrics, to be considered for the Ward’s 50® designation. Ward’s 50® companies outperform the industry and report more favorable statutory return on average equity, lower lapse ratios, greater growth in policyholder surplus, and lower expenses relative to net premiums.
