Who We Are
American Equity strives to provide excellent customer service at every touch point. We value our customers and believe our people-first philosophy is our difference maker. We are committed to superior service standards and understand the importance of satisfying our customers in a world where they can go anywhere.
American Equity, along with its subsidiary Eagle Life Insurance Company, currently helps fund more than half a million retirements nationwide with fixed and fixed index annuity products that help provide a paycheck for life and financial dignity in retirement.
What is Financial Dignity?
We are The Financial Dignity Company™ – and while each person might define financial dignity differently, we believe it’s having the means to retire with pride and peacefulness.
To do that, our contract owners work with independent agents to choose one of our leading annuity products best suited for their personal needs. And we stay mindful of our investments and continue to look for growth opportunities that enable us to delight and deliver on our decades-long promises to our contract owners.
What We Do
Every retirement is different, each with its own unique goals to meet individual needs. Yet, many of today’s retirement objectives are the same – to create a reliable income source that cannot be outlived with asset protection and growth potential to better plan for the future ahead.
As a leading provider of fixed index annuities, our products help close the income gap to maintain a lifestyle in retirement that so many Americans have worked hard to achieve. Fixed index annuities can also help with life's unexpected expenses, such as health care or long-term care.
Thank You
We know people have choices when it comes to retirement income planning. We want to thank the agents and financial professionals who work with us to inform consumers about our products. We also want to thank our contract owners. We treat each annuity with great care so that when the time comes, our customers can retire with dignity.
Thank you for your business – we couldn’t do what we do, without you.
