As we look ahead to the future of life insurance and annuities, what are the trends that will continue to shape the industry? What changes have we seen over the last year that will persist post-COVID-19? How will the accelerating pace of automation change the nature of jobs across the insurance industry? How will all of this affect the insurance industry’s ability to serve the growing need of the underinsured and uninsured in the U.S.?
Please join LIMRA and Life Happens to learn more about the recently released findings from the 11th annual Insurance Barometer Study. This study tracks the attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors of adult consumers with a focus on life insurance.
In this webinar, LIMRA and BCG will highlight findings from research examining the experiences across the customer journey for individuals who purchased and managed life policies after the onset of the pandemic.

As the pandemic spread, images of nursing homes and assisted care facilities flooded the media. The sick and elderly were particularly vulnerable to this deadly virus and so many families were cut off from their parents and grandparents in the hopes of protecting them from exposure to COVID-19.
Even before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic uncertainty, Americans were struggling with retirement readiness. In fact, Secure Retirement Institute (SRI) research reveals 40% of working Baby Boomers have less than $100,000 saved for retirement — 25% have less than $25,000.
This week, LIMRA updated its sales forecast for U.S. retail life insurance sales for 2021. Since October 2020, when the original forecast was published, three COVID-19 vaccines were given emergency approval and distributed, two federal relief packages were passed and a last-minute change to life insurance tax law was implemented. These factors, coupled with stronger economic conditions and unprecedented consumer interest in life insurance, have led LIMRA to improve its 2021 sales forecast.
The pandemic has highlighted something most people don’t want to think about — what would happen to their loved ones should they unexpectedly die. According to new findings from the 2021 Insurance Barometer Study, conducted annually by LIMRA and Life Happens, 42% of American households would face financial hardship within six months should a wage earner die unexpectedly; 25% would suffer financially within a month.
While already underway prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, many life insurance policies are now underwritten through “simplified” or “streamlined” processes, which are less reliant on physical data (e.g., blood, urine, examination) and more reliant on readily available datasets (e.g., medical, financial, personal).
When most people think about their biggest asset, many think of their home or 401(k) account, but it’s really their lifetime earning potential, which could be in jeopardy if they were to become injured or disabled.
COVID-19 has changed the world in so many ways. The way we work and interact with each other has changed dramatically. It also changed the life insurance industry. Because of social distancing, companies had to adjust their day-to-day operations to continue to serve their current and potential customers.
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in rapid and unprecedented changes in the annuity industry. Business practices quickly changed as the industry went remote, and it is likely the changes adopted in 2020 will continue as the new normal for the industry.
The changing from one year to the next always marks a new beginning. Moving into 2021 holds significant meaning as we hope to begin to move forward from the unimaginable difficulty the pandemic created in 2020 and look forward to brighter times ahead.
