American Landmark 3 MVA

The MassMutual Ascend Life Insurance Company was originally founded in 1957 under the name of Great American Life Insurance Company. Being in the retirement savings market, their focus is to provide comprehensive transparency over their annuity products to better help clients make informed decisions. Their mission is to provide the ultimate financial security by offering a range of fixed, fixed-index, and registered index-linked annuities designed to help retirees not only preserve their wealth but also potentially generate income as well. A leading annuity provider known for its superior customer service, MassMutual Ascend has continuously maintained a strong position amidst ratings agencies. A mere three years ago, the company was purchased by MassMutual, one of the largest life insurance companies in the US, yet still operates as an independent subsidiary to this day.
