NEW YORK, NY – July 11, 2022 — Global Atlantic Financial Group (Global Atlantic), a leading financial services 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 thirteenth 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 13 years.
“It’s an honor to once again be included on the Ward’s 50 list,” said Rob Arena, Co-President of Global Atlantic and Head of Individual Markets. “Our long-standing inclusion is a reflection of our consistent approach to managing the business with the highest levels of integrity 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.
