FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OLDWICK - JUNE 04, 2026 03:38 PM (EDT)
AM Best has maintained the under review with developing implications status for the Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of "a" (Excellent) of Garden State Life Insurance Company (GSL) (Galveston, TX).

The Credit Ratings (ratings) reflect GSL's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strongest, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.

GSL is in the process of being repurposed into an entity that writes annuity products on a regional basis. This will complement the distribution of products currently written by Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. It is currently awaiting regulatory approval on its product filings and plans to begin developing new business shortly after.

This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best's website.
