Even with the current economic and financial climate WoodmenLife remains strong with $112 of assets for every $100 of liabilities.
“WoodmenLife continues to have a conservative investment philosophy, and it serves our organization and our members well, as assets now total nearly $10.7 billion. The 25 percent growth in our assets over the past five years is a direct result of the quality of our portfolio and the trust of our valued members,” said Larry King, WoodmenLife President and CEO. “And we strive have their best interests in mind as we ensure our continued financial stability.”
Investment income exceeded $408 million, and life insurance in force stands at $37.6 billion. WoodmenLife’s premium income in 2015 surpassed $793 million.
