Doug Wolff, CEO of Security Benefit, said "We are pleased that S&P has affirmed our “A-“ rating and believe the change in outlook to “stable” is especially notable. It reflects the strength of our balance sheet, as well as our diversified growth strategy that blends industry-leading investment performance, cost effective and technology-driven administration, an innovative product line up, and our dynamic, nationwide distribution platform that partners with some of the best names in the business.”
“The last two years have been outstanding years for our business, which has generated a lot of positive momentum, and this update from S&P validates that fact,” added Caleb Brainerd, CFO of Security Benefit. “We’re looking forward to sharing our full year 2023 financial results with investors on March 21st.”
