Through the move, Resolution Re will reinsure $5.7bn of annuity liabilities.
Symetra Financial president and CEO Margaret Meister said: “This transaction strengthens Symetra’s risk-based capital and long-term financial position as we remain focused on growing our primary business lines.
“Importantly, ensuring a seamless transition for our affected customers has been a key goal for us, and we’re very pleased that they will continue to receive the same great service from our highly skilled Symetra team.”
Symetram, which stopped sale of structured settlement annuities six years ago, will continue to service the reinsured business.
