For nearly two centuries, life insurers have been there providing financial security to Americans through wars, recessions and pandemics. COVID-19 was no different. We made historic payouts in a time when people needed us most. Safeguarding people — and the most important things to them — is our fundamental mission.
Life insurers invest $7.9 trillion in the U.S. economy – $587 million every day – making life insurance companies one of the largest sources of investment capital in the nation.
Communities build affordable housing, newer schools, better hospitals, and more because of life insurers investments.
Life insurance coverage is widely available, with more than 137 million individual life insurance policies in force.
Life insurers pay out $2.5 billion in benefits every day.
We generate 2.8 million jobs in the United States.
