Resolution Life Group Holdings LP (‘Resolution Life’), a global manager of in-force life insurance businesses, is delighted to announce today that it has completed the acquisition of Voya Financial, Inc.’s, (‘Voya’) individual life in-force business.
The completion sees Voya sell to Resolution Life substantially all of its in-force individual life business, including Security Life of Denver Insurance Company, Midwestern United Life Insurance Company and certain other affiliates, as well as the reinsurance of Voya’s remaining in-force individual life and annuity blocks.
Voya transferred approximately 350 employees, together with the assets and systems used to manage the business. On completion more than $25 billion of assets were added to the Resolution Life balance sheet and it assumes responsibility for the administration of the acquired business.
Following a transition period, which is expected to take up to two years, Resolution Life will replace Voya’s corporate systems with its own systems. Resolution Life’s more modern platforms will provide enhanced customer service at lower cost.
Resolution Life has raised over US$3 billion of capital since 2018. In addition to the acquisition of Voya’s individual life in-force business, acquisitions to date include the A$3 billion acquisition of AMP Life in Australia and the completion of a reinsurance transaction with Symetra Life Insurance Company with US$5.7 billion of reserves.
The transaction provides Resolution Life with a strong platform to capitalise on future growth opportunities in the US market, diversifies the Group risk profile against the Resolution Australasia and Resolution Re liabilities, and accelerates its growth story.
We are delighted to welcome our new customers and colleagues to Resolution Life. By acquiring or reinsuring businesses from partners such as Voya, Symetra and AMP, we provide a well-capitalised and stable environment to deliver on long-term customer promises. There is great opportunity for growth in the United States and completion of this transaction gives us an excellent platform to build from.
Sir Clive Cowdery Resolution Founder and Executive Chairman of Resolution Life
