OneAmerica Financial^® today announced that A.M. Best Company and S&P Global Ratings have each separately recognized American United Life Insurance Company^® (AUL) and its affiliate The State Life Insurance Company^® (State Life), both companies of OneAmerica Financial, for their financial strength.

A.M. Best affirmed an A+ (Superior) rating, which is the second-highest of 15 rating categories assigned by the independent agency in evaluating financial strength and performance of the OneAmerica Financial companies and their ability to meet existing financial obligations.

S&P Global Ratings (formerly Standard and Poor’s) maintained an AA- rating, its fourth-highest of 22 possible ratings, for the OneAmerica Financial life insurance companies, AUL and State Life.

“Our purpose at OneAmerica Financial is to build financial security today and for generations to come. Our financial strength, backed by strong ratings, has never been more important in delivering value to our customers and distribution networks,” said Scott Davison, chairman, president and CEO of OneAmerica Financial. “Maintaining strong ratings gives them the assurance that we can deliver on our promises when they need us most.”

“OneAmerica Financial is a mutual company, which allows us to prioritize the customers we serve,” Davison added. “Last year was outstanding by all accounts; however, the metrics that matter most are the ones that reflect the lives that we touched. In 2023 we paid nearly $7 billion in benefits to our clients, representing promises made and kept.”

The insurance companies of OneAmerica Financial are among the 8% of U.S. life insurers with an A.M. Best rating of A+ (Superior) or higher and an S&P rating of AA- or higher.¹
