Life is better at Banner!
No matter how careful you are, or how much you think ahead,
life is often unpredictable. That's what life insurance is
for, planning for what you can't predict. What you can count
on is the performance and strength of your insurance
company. We make it our business to prepare for the
unexpected so that you can get the most out of life.
For more information on Banner Life, our history, our
financial strength and our ratings by independent industry
analysts, please read on. Our history spans a lifetime.
The history of Banner Life Insurance Company is more than 50
years strong. Chartered in 1949 as Government Employees Life
Insurance Company (GELICO), we were acquired by Legal &
General Group Plc as a wholly owned subsidiary in 1981. In
1983, our name was changed to Banner Life, signifying our
flagship position with Legal & General America in the United
States.
Banner Life's subsidiary, William Penn Life Insurance
Company of New York, joined the corporate group in 1989.
Since that time, management for both companies has been
consolidated at the senior level. Banner Life's national
presence, William Penn's nearly 40 years of brokerage
experience and the operational synergy between both
companies is a strong combination.
Banner's life insurance products are sold through
independent life brokerage agencies in 48 states and the
District of Columbia. Real life means keeping promises.
At Banner Life, we take our financial promises seriously. We
also promise to treat our customers fairly and to apply
ethical standards to every business transaction. We believe
in offering low-cost, innovative products and responsive
service. Our goal is to build lasting, mutually beneficial
partnerships for life.
At year-end 2001, on a GAAP consolidated basis, Banner Life
had:
• Over $139 billion of life insurance in force
• Over
$2.5 billion in assets
• An investment portfolio that
consisted of 100% investment grade assets, including 16%
U.S. government and U.S. government agency holdings
• No
real estate and less than 0.1% of its portfolio invested in
commercial mortgages
And on a statutory basis had:
•
Capital & surplus of nearly $260 million
• Assets equal
to 135% of liabilities
Our ratings speak for themselves.
While we are proud to be a member of the Legal & General
Group Plc, we take an even greater pride in our financial
and management independence. Our ratings indicate that
Banner can and will honor its commitments to
policyowners...based on its own, independent financial
strength.
Our headquarters:
Banner Life's home office is located in Rockville, Maryland,
just minutes away from our nation's capital.
