The segment's flagship product line is the Shield Annuity suite, which combines features of both variable and fixed annuities while providing market participation with downside protection. The Life segment offers term, universal, whole, and variable life insurance products designed to provide financial security and protected wealth transfer.

Fund ownership counts N-PORT filers only, so it is a floor rather than a census — pensions, insurers and direct holders are not visible here, and the remainder is not “held by individuals”.

Fund ownership is a subset of institutional 13F ownership — the two describe overlapping populations and must not be added together.
