WoodmenLife’s Superior Financial Strength Outlook Continues into 2022
WoodmenLife’s A+ (Superior) financial strength rating was once again reaffirmed by A.M. Best, an independent financial rating agency. This rating is based on a comprehensive and qualitative evaluation of WoodmenLife’s balance sheet strength, operating performance, business profile, and enterprise risk management capabilities.
WoodmenLife finished its fiscal year with tremendous financial stability and more than enough resources to meet its financial obligations to its members. Notable financial achievements for year-end 2021 included:
- Assets grew year over year to nearly $11.5 billion
- Face amount of life insurance in force was nearly $39.2 billion
- Surplus increased 6.8% to $1.7 billion, growing the surplus ratio to 17.7%
These positive results and a conservative investment philosophy – with more than two-thirds of invested assets in bonds – ensure WoodmenLife remains in superior financial condition to meet its ongoing insurance and contract obligations to policyholders.
“WoodmenLife remained financially strong during these uncertain times,” said President & CEO Patrick L. Dees. “We not only were able to help our members’ families when the unthinkable happened, but also supported their commitment to improving their communities and helping those who were struggling.”
