Aspida Life Insurance Company

Recently founded in 2021, Aspida is a newer life insurance company compared to other annuity providers. Aspida’s main goal is to provide fast, simple retirement solutions — like annuities — in today’s digital age. They’ve partnered with many professionals that have over 200 years of combined life insurance and annuity experience.

Aspida Life Insurance is backed by Ares Management Corporation, a leading global alternative investment manager. Ares oversees Aspida’s asset management, capital solutions and other development services. As of September 2022, Ares has $341 billion assets under management.

Aspida offers annuities in 48 U.S. states — excluding New York and Connecticut — and the District of Columbia. Their indirect subsidiary, Aspida Life Re Ltd., sells annuities globally. Aspida Life Re Ltd. is currently headquartered in Bermuda, a leading location for reinsurance business.

Aspida has high financial strength ratings from two leading credit rating agencies — AM Best and KBRA. A life insurance company’s financial strength is rated based on the company’s ability to pay obligations under policies and contracts.

Aspida offers two types of annuities — fixed annuities and fixed index annuities. There are three fixed annuities — WealthLock MYGA, Synergy Choice MYGA and Aspida Advisory MYGA — and two fixed index annuities — Synergy Choice Max and WealthLock Accumulator.

Consider your financial needs and the differences between each Aspida annuity before making a purchase.

Aspida’s fixed annuities are all single premium deferred fixed multi-year guaranteed annuities (MYGA) with a two-to-seven-year guarantee period option. Your MYGA will grow tax-deferred and most offer flexibility to adjust for your current financial situation.

Aspida will allow you to make withdrawals from your fixed annuity to cover unexpected costs. After the first year, you can also access 100% of your contract value if you become confined to a nursing home and diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Aspida offers two fixed index annuity – WealthLock Accumulator and Synergy Choice Max. They are single premium deferred fixed index annuity with seven-to-10-year contract options.

The WealthLock Accumulator offers protection to get a high rate of return that is tied to an indices’ performance, a fixed rate or both.

You can withdraw 10% of your cash value each year after your first year. Same as Aspida’s fixed annuities, you can also access 100% of your contract value if you become confined to a nursing home and diagnosed with a terminal illness.
