Which Companies will be around in the future ? who knows?

Posted in Whole Life Insurance over 3 years ago, 2 replies

How can one be sure a whole life insurance company will be around 30-50 years from now, what kind of back up / protection do the insurers have, are they backed up by the feds? or do you just loose all your money? ( I don't think the idea of we have great ratings and good reputation for 100+ years sells me on this idea)

I don't understand the question.

If the insurance companies that were formed in the 1800's made it through World Wars 1 and 2, the great depression inbetween, Black Monday of the 1980's, and everything in-between.......why wouldn't they make it past yours and mine lifetime?

A company like GM is the exception, not the rule.

I am a Guardian Field Representative. We are extremely conservative. Supposing everyone who owns a Guardian policy were to die simultaneously, Guardian would still be 4.6 billion to the good.

Obviously, not GM.

Now that I think about it, I may understand your question a little better.

When an insurance company starts to fail, it falls into receivership by its state insurance commission.

Under those terms, the state will make decisions for the company that make CERTAIN the policyowners' claims get paid, regardless of what that does to the company itself.
