Latest results show a growing Ameritas, moving forward with the market

While the COVID-19 pandemic is not yet a thing of the past, we understand it better than we did a year ago, and the future feels a little more certain. Many challenges remain, driving unprecedented levels of change for the financial services and insurance industries, including accelerated disruption, evolving regulation and historically low interest rates.

Ameritas is moving forward

Our president and CEO Bill Lester says that every challenge is an opportunity, and we live that philosophy every day. Ameritas is moving forward, building new products and investing in advanced digital tools that support and empower a fast-growing network of independent financial professionals. We added more than 60 such firms in 2020 and also acquired Dental Select, a licensed third-party administrator and insurance agency. We’re demonstrating a deep commitment to the future of our diverse businesses and a confidence based on these fundamentals:

• Being an independent, mutual-based organization gives us the freedom to focus on thebigger picture and make our best decisions for the policyholders and members we serve.
• An exceptionally strong capital base provides a deep foundation that lets us continue keeping our promises and controlling our destiny.
• Our diversified business model features well-balanced investments and sales, spread across multiple product lines. This mitigates risk in volatile markets.

We’re putting new systems in place that will help us continue delivering on the promises made to existing customers. We’re taking the steps needed to protect our associates’ well-being and capacity to serve others.

Ameritas is honored to provide insurance, employee benefits and financial services that help our neighbors feel more safe and secure. They can be sure we’re making the best decisions we can with the most complete information available.

The measures detailed in Financial Strength, Stability and Fulfilling Lives demonstrate our commitment to a firm foundation that enables us to navigate uncertain times with confidence and optimism. The bottom-line message we deliver is that Ameritas is here for you, focused on fulfilling life.
