Gray, A. (2016)US life insurers shaken by rock-bottom rateshere

Summary (partial)

"Life insurers are supposed to be bedrocks of financial stability, dependable institutions whose long-term business models set them apart from scandal-hit banks. Yet shares in the leading US insurers, which help millions of Americans through retirement, have been anything but stable in recent weeks. Titans of the industry have been hit almost as hard as lenders in this year's stock market rout ... Many of the macroeconomic woes that have led investors to sell bank stocks have also made them nervous about life insurers … Products with guarantees account for between 60 and 80 per cent of US life insurers' balance sheets, Moody's estimates. The average outstanding guarantee is between 2 and 4 per cent."
