Recent moves by Resolution Life 

Earlier this year, Resolution Life finalised the acquisition of Voya Financial’s individual life in-force business.

The deal involved the sale of substantially all of Voya’s in-force individual life business, including Security Life of Denver Insurance Company, Midwestern United Life Insurance Company along with certain other affiliates. It also involved the reinsurance of Voya’s remaining in-force individual life as well as annuity blocks.

Last year, Resolution Life closed the acquisition of AMP Life for $2.3bn (A$3bn).

The transaction involved Resolution Life taking over AMP’s Australian and New Zealand wealth protection and mature businesses. It involved a cash payment of A$2.5bn, and A$500m or 20% equity interest in the newly-formed Resolution Life Australia.

An Australian-domiciled, Resolution Life-controlled holding company, Resolution Life Australia is now the owner of AMP Life.
