2007 LIFE MARKET SHARE DATA

Report Includes Information on Top 25 Life Insurers

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (March 12, 2008) — The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) today released the 2007 market share premium data for the top 25 insurers of select life lines of business. This data helps to provide an indicator of the degree of market concentration in a line of business, as well as identify leading insurance writers.

The report includes countrywide direct written premium for the top 25 groups and companies as reported on the State Page of the life/health and fraternal annual statements of insurers that report to the NAIC. This combined data from both annual statement types allows for a more global view of the market place.

Cumulative market share data is shown for the life, annuity considerations, and totals of life insurance, annuity considerations, deposit-type contract funds, other considerations, and accident and health insurance.

Available free online, the report will be refreshed each Monday through mid-April. Access the report at http://www.naic.org/documents/research_home_life_fraternal.pdf.

More in-depth market share information will be available this summer in the NAIC’s 2007 Market Share Reports for Life and Fraternal. This publication includes market share information in 56 jurisdictions. The top 125 groups and companies are shown countrywide and in each line of business by state. This publication can be purchased online via the NAIC Store.
