Public facts

Group life and supplemental health

Securian Financial mutual-holding-company group life specialist (term, GUL, AD&D) plus supplemental health, issued by Minnesota Life and Securian Life.

Overview

Securian Financial Group’s employer business focuses on group life and supplemental health. Public pages state Securian issued its first group life policy in 1917, is the third-largest direct writer of group life in the United States by insurance in force, is a top group-life provider to 15 state governments, and counts 19 of the Fortune 100 among employer clients. More than 500 employers are cited as selecting Securian for products, administration technology, and service. Products named include group term life, group universal life (cash value, fixed credited rate, portability/conversion, living benefits), and AD&D. Issuing companies are Minnesota Life Insurance Company and Securian Life Insurance Company (New York authorized insurer). International group life is described with Zurich Insurance Group / Zurich Employee Benefits Network.

Why it matters Securian is a group-life specialist (including GUL and public-sector depth), not a full dental/disability supermarket.

Target buyer
Large employers, public-sector groups, and municipal accounts that want a group-life-centered carrier (including GUL) rather than a dental-first ancillary shop.
