LH's raiting has been effected by the recent funding of their largest agency to "branch off".
Rumor has it that they recently financed a $16mil deal that would make their largest agency its own company. The agency will now do its own underwriting and control its own rates.
Im not sure what the incentive is for lincoln to compete with its largest agency. But they worked out a similar deal when senior life formed its own company years ago.
Wouldn't that agency be the Powells and Senior Life?
They also sold their entire Preneed division to NGL in 2011.
I would think that LH is financially sound which is what AM Best is rating on. You can't have the highest premiums and the lowest commissions in the industry plus roll up all the failed agent's commissions to upper management PLUS contest the H#LL out of every death claim in first 24 months with out making piles and piles of cash.
