Behind the Text Podcast: Beyond Profitability Rankings — What Really Drives Life and Annuity Returns
Profitability rankings in life and annuity insurance often grab attention, but they can hide more than they reveal.
In this episode of Beyond the Text, Alyssa Gittleman speaks with Scott Hawkins, Head of Insurance Research at Conning, about what sits beneath headline profitability figures. The discussion unpacks how insurers generate returns through a mix of investment income, product design, reinsurance strategies, reserve movements, and separate account dynamics, and why two companies with similar results may be operating very different business models.
The conversation also explores why sustainability matters as much as performance, how growth and profitability can diverge, and why peer comparisons require a deeper look at the sources of earnings rather than just the end result.
