HOW MONEY CHOSE THE BEST LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES

Since 2017, Money’s editorial team has evaluated over 30 life insurance companies across six categories, dedicating more than 1,000 hours to research. Their methodology includes assessing each insurer’s ability to pay claims, comparing product offerings and pricing, reviewing financial strength ratings from agencies like AM Best, analyzing customer satisfaction scores from J.D. Power, examining complaint data from the NAIC, and evaluating the ease of the underwriting process. They also interview company representatives for additional insights. While Money strives to provide accurate and current information, regulatory and legal details can change. Rates may vary over time, so they always recommend doing your own research as well.
