2022 Summary Annual Report to Members

Message from management

In 2022, we fulfilled our purpose of building secure tomorrows as our industry and nation continued to emerge from years of pandemic-related uncertainty.

Our financial strength — a hallmark of our company for generations — allowed us to confidently navigate this uncertainty as we prioritized our most promising growth opportunities and positioned the company for sustained success. As we move past the pandemic, I am proud to report that Securian Financial remains among the most highly rated insurance companies in the country.

Despite significant market headwinds, our 2022 financial results reflect another successful year for Securian Financial. Strong sales and excellent customer retention across our business lines led to very good revenue and earnings. Excellent investment quality, a high level of capital and thoughtful risk management continue to support our very strong balance sheet.
