Structured settlement annuity issuers again appear in the FORTUNE list of America’s Most Admired Companies for 2007. The annual FORTUNE survey has been called "the definitive report card on corporate reputations".
There’s nothing better than having your peers recognize you and the survey that forms the basis for these rankings does just that. Peers are asked to rate their competitors on the basis of these 8 points: Innovation, People Management, Use of Corporate Assets, Social Responsibility, Quality of Management, Financial soundness, Long Term Investment and Product/Service Quality.
Structured settlement annuity issuers fall into two categories (1) Insurance-Life and Health; and (2) Insurance-Property and Casualty. A number of structured settlement annuity issuers fall into the P&C Category because of the diversity of their businesses.
Life & Health Category
New York Life #2
Prudential Financial #3
Massachusetts Mutual #5
MetLife #7
Genworth Financial #9
P&C Category
Hartford Financial #4
Allstate #5
AIG #7 (but rated #3 in Financial Soundness)
Liberty Mutual #9
Although Massachusetts Mutual and Genworth Financial are no longer writing new structured structured settlements they deserved mention because structured settlements are meant to provide long term security. While these two companies have chosen (in the last 7-8 months) not to write new structured settlements for business purposes they are highly reputable strong financial companies. The #1 company on the life side, perennial leader Northwestern Mutual, issues annuities but does not write structured settlement annuities.
