Capital & Solvency
Company Solvency
Our solvency ratio is strong – now $110.104. The Solvency Ratio expresses financial soundness and a company’s ability to meet policy obligations as they come due. Assets divided by each $100 in liabilities result in a solvency ratio, expressed as a dollar figure. Assets are bonds, stocks, cash and short-term investments; liabilities exclude separate accounts. The higher the amount, the stronger the company’s position to cover unforeseen emergency cash requirements.
Capital Strength
EquiTrust is committed to meeting the financial obligations of our customers. Our goal is to be well capitalized through a range of economic scenarios, including prolonged downturns. Based on capital standards closely watched by insurance-industry regulators, EquiTrust is strongly capitalized and well positioned to fulfill our promises to our customers.
