BILL FLICK, The Pantagraph, Bloomington, Ill.Pantagraph
Question: At last count, there were 719 life insurance companies in America alone. Can you name the one that has earned the No. 1 spot on Forbes' list of the world's best life insurance companies?
Answer: You don't have to go too far in life to find it. Bloomington-based Country Financial has earned the top spot for 2024, as Forbes, the legendary American business magazine, partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 45,000 consumers in 15 countries. Country, says Forbes, has personalized more of its life insurance offerings and doubled down on customer service to move up to No. 1 in the world. (Thanks to Paul Harmon for the tip.)
