Closing the protection gap in the Americas
A recent study revealed the average American household would need an additional $500,000 in life insurance coverage to meet financial obligations following the loss of a breadwinner. In the US, this $25 trillion mortality protection gap poses potential catastrophic financial challenges for those affected - and an opportunity for insurance companies to help more middle-income Americans get the life insurance coverage they need.

By combining our extensive insights with our global capabilities in analytics and risk management expertise, we can help grow your business, ensure more middle-income Americans get the life insurance coverage they need, and close the protection gap.
