Northwestern Mutual
Unquestionably, Northwestern Mutual is our top rated life insurance company for 2016.
Northwestern has been around for over a century, providing some of
the most competitive permanent life insurance products in the entire
industry. Backed up by perfect ratings from all four major credit rating
agencies, they’re one of just a handful of companies with a perfect Comdex score.
While consumers see higher prices for term life and limited
availability of product (sold exclusively through company agents only),
these two downfalls are masked by an institution with $220 billion in
assets, a long standing history, a stout financial portfolio, and
promising future.
You will have access to insurance products, like participating whole
life insurance, to full-scale investments to suit every need in your
household or business.
New York Life
Coming
in a close second place on our list of top ten life insurance
companies, New York Life is a near match to Northwestern Mutual.
Having been in business nearly 170 years, they are one of the longest
standing life insurance companies in America. They, like Northwestern,
have top of the charts scores from all four of the rating agencies who
review financial institutions, putting them in elite company.
New York Life has a most excellent suite of exclusive products
offered from their agents only, and expect to pay the price for the
extra quality, brand, and benefits. They are also the underwriting
institution behind the highly acclaimed AARP, one of the most recognized names for senior benefits.
Expect a superior product from this company who has offered dividends for over a century.

Massachusetts Mutual
Massachusetts
Mutual, our third place contender for the year, is yet another life
insurance company in our top three to be owned by its policyholders, and
not by investors.
One of the larger companies we reviewed coming in over $500 billion
in total assets, Mass Mutual has perfect ratings from all major rating
agencies, with the exception of Moody’s, putting them among the
strongest, financially stable life insurance companies in America.
Another reason Massachusetts Mutual is ranked so high this year is
its focus not only only insurance, but financial planning. Many carriers
have chosen to offer life insurance, but few have made such large
strides as Mass in integrating insurance and investments together.

MetLife
MetLife continues to be the largest provider of life insurance in the United States, but this was not enough to put them in the top 3 for the year 2016; simply being the largest life company is not enough.
The largest, most recognized name in life insurance, the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company brand is the giant of the industry. Since the
civil war, MetLife has been offering life insurance to fit any budget,
any business, or any need. Among these needs, other insurance products
from dental to disability are available all under one roof.
Although it’s harder to get accepted with MetLife than many other
companies, they offer a great lineup of products, including term,
universal and whole. The ratings received by all four credit agencies
are fantastic, and MetLife has secured “A” ratings across the board.
Metropolitan Life also has an affinity to working with those with specials needs, so consider this if it fits your criteria.

Banner
The
go-to company for term life insurance in 2016, Banner has become one of
the most aggressive insurers on pricing for the entire term market.
They are hands down the best life insurance company for low prices on a
term policy.
Although not a monster sized brand like many of its competitors,
Banner is a long standing life insurance carrier who not only offers
competitive premiums, but underwrites several very impaired risk
categories most other life insurers shun.
$600 billion dollars of life insurance are currently in force with
Banner Life, and they are housed in a financial conglomerate with
nothing but “A” ratings from the agencies who rate them.
In addition to their term products, they offer very competitive
universal life insurance options to fit the needs of the permanent
insurance crowd. However, they don’t offer any true whole life products;
they stick to what they know best.

Transamerica
Just
outside the top 5 of our list, Transamerica is a century old life
insurance company with a great group of product choices to meet any
need.
Nearly famous for it’s prominence in the skyline of San Francisco
alone, Bank of America’s purchase of Occidental and it’s re-branding to
Transamerica has given the company new life since its inception more
than 110 years ago. Today, they host “A” ratings from all four rating
agencies.
Transamerica Life offers an excellent variety of life insurance,
including term, universal, whole and accident. Outside of their
insurance arm, there are additional resources for investments, if you so
choose, where Transamerica and their subsidiaries are competitive.
Transamerica is also international.

Prudential
Prudential
is a household name, and their industry dominance and niche
underwriting has gotten them into our top 10 best life insurance
companies list this year.
Extremely successful in several smaller areas of life insurance,
Prudential also has leveraged its brand to become a leader in the life
insurance industry as a whole. This 140 year old financial institution
is a premiere insurer, with ratings of “A” or better from all of the
rating agencies. In competition with MetLife for most life insurance
sold, Prudential did take home the highest in net premiums, topping $13
billion.
Although there is no whole life availability, Pru does have term,
universal and indexed universal to fill their portfolio of products.
Non-life insurance options include accident, critical illness,
disability, and more.
Prudential has exceptional underwriting for smokers.

Fidelity
Most highly recognized for its investment side, few realize how well Fidelity has moved up within the life insurance industry.
Although it’s toward the bottom of our best life insurance companies
list, it has a special place among the graded life insurance niche,
earning its spot in the overall category for 2016. Fidelity is
responsible for new advances in the marketplace, including it’s hybrid
life insurance product line.
The company itself is aged and well known, and has more than $100
million of in force life insurance policies. There are also term
products, whole life, and no exam policies available through Fidelity.
As the company continues to embrace change, look for them to rise more
towards the top in the coming years.
Fidelity has received an “A-” from A.M. Best, one of the top rating agencies.
See our full Fidelity Life Association review.
Principal
Another
rising company for life insurance is Principal, coming in at number
nine on our list of top 10 life insurance carriers we reviewed.
Although it is more highly rated than some of our other companies on
the list, including four ratings of “A” or better, Principal does not
quite have the footprint yet of a best in class carrier.
One of the prime reasons Principal Life Group made our list was not
only their host of term, universal and variable universal life products,
but their no exam life insurance underwriting which allows consumers to
purchase up to $1,000,000 in coverage, regardless of which type of insurance they choose. This doubles the industry allowance on death benefit amounts.
Principal has more than just life insurance among its offerings, including financial investments through subsidiaries.
See our full Principal Life Insurance Company review.
Protective
Squeaking
into our list of best life insurance companies at number ten is
Protective, a company many haven’t heard of just yet. Despite this, they
have a dominant foothold within more than one sector of the life
insurance industry.
For more than a century now, Protective Life has lived up to its name
in protecting households and businesses all across the United States.
With more than 5 subsidiaries, an international presence, four separate
“A” ratings, and a huge number of policyholders, Protective is getting
noticed for the first time in a major way.
You will have your pick of term life insurance, universal, or
variable universal, where Protective is extremely price competitive.
Especially with its universal products, Protective is one of the few
companies who offers permanent insurance for all tiers of fully
underwritten life insurance.
If you are considering permanent coverage for estate planning, Protective may be among your considerations.
