Fidelity Life Assn

Fidelity Life Association (NAIC 63258) has built its modern identity around simplified life insurance sold through digital and direct-response channels, then reinforced that strategy through holding-company and ownership changes. Vericity, Inc. has described Fidelity Life as its primary life insurance subsidiary in public SEC reporting, tying the insurer to a broader tech-enabled distribution and marketing platform. [2]

In 2024, iA Financial Group announced it had completed the acquisition of Vericity, bringing Fidelity Life into iA's North American insurance organization. [1] That kind of ownership change matters for a life carrier because it can add balance-sheet resources, investment capabilities, and long-term strategic patience - all crucial when liabilities run for decades.

AM Best commentary on the company highlights risk-management choices that shaped how Fidelity Life competes. In a published release, AM Best noted the carrier's high use of reinsurance, describing it as a key element of the operating model. [3] Rating disclosures and related materials provide the public framework for understanding capital strength, operating performance, and governance as the company navigates interest-rate cycles, underwriting volatility, and evolving consumer expectations. [4]

Historically, this mix of direct marketing and heavy reinsurance can allow a smaller brand to scale while keeping net risk aligned with capital. Specific reinsurer names and treaty terms are typically detailed in statutory statements and rating-agency workpapers rather than consumer-facing summaries. [3][4]
