Wink’s Moore on the Market: I couldn’t agree with Michael Reidy more-
“Marketing simple and easy to understand offerings that provide competitive rates, caps and spreads for new money and renewals is the best course of action.”
It seems everyone is marketing competitive rates.
Not everyone is marketing competitive inforce renewal rates though.
Let’s sound off on the companies that we know, who have published their inforce renewal rates.
I’ll go first:
– American Equity
– Eagle Life® Insurance Company
– EquiTrust Life Insurance Company
– Forethought (Global Atlantic Financial Group)
– Life Insurance Company of the Southwest
– Lincoln Financial Group
– MassMutual Ascend
– Reliance Standard Life Insurance
– The Standard
– TruStage
