Lincoln Financial

Lincoln Financial Group is a publicly traded stock company headquartered in Radnor, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1905 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the company carries the Lincoln name by formal authorization — manager Perry Randall proposed the name to convey "a spirit of integrity," and in August 1905 Robert Todd Lincoln granted permission for the company to use his father's name and likeness. Lincoln Financial offers a broad portfolio across annuities, life insurance, retirement plan services, and group protection.

What we use them for

Through Family First Life, we have access to Lincoln Financial’s life and annuity product lines. From an agent’s perspective, they tend to be a strong fit when:

  • Indexed universal life is on the table. Lincoln is one of the most active carriers in the IUL category, with multiple products that fit different funding profiles, ages, and health classes. We routinely run Lincoln IUL illustrations alongside other carriers when IUL is the goal.
  • The buyer wants a publicly traded stock company. Some buyers prefer the transparency that comes with NYSE-listed companies (LNC is traded daily, with public quarterly financials).
  • Term life across a range of underwriting classes. Lincoln’s term portfolio is competitive in multiple rate bands.

A note on financial strength

Lincoln Financial’s current AM Best, Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, and Fitch ratings are published on the carrier’s financial-strength page and on each agency’s public directory. Pull live values from AM Best before quoting them on a call — ratings change quarterly and a cited number must be current as of the conversation.

When to consider another carrier

If the priority is member benefits beyond the policy (community grants, scholarships), a fraternal society like Foresters Financial is structured for that. If the priority is specific to the final-expense or simplified-issue market, Mutual of Omaha’s Living Promise line is widely written for that case. Lincoln is typically the answer when the conversation is IUL or broad-portfolio.
