Globe Life Inc. (NYSE: GL) provides life and supplemental health insurance products targeted at lower middle- and middle-income families in the United States. The company operates through three segments: Life Insurance, Supplemental Health Insurance, and Investments, offering a range of products including whole, term, and childrens life insurance, as well as Medicare supplements, accident, cancer, critical illness, and other limited-benefit health products, along with final expense and mortgage protection coverage. Distribution is conducted through direct-to-consumer channels, exclusive independent agents, general agency independent agents, and brokers.
The company was originally founded in 1900 and is headquartered in McKinney, Texas. It was formerly known as Torchmark Corporation before rebranding to Globe Life Inc. in August 2019. As a large-cap issuer in the Life & Health Insurance sub-industry, Globe Lifes business model reflects a focus on serving middle-market households, a demographic segment often underserved by larger national insurers, with products that are typically lower-ticket but sold at high volumes through agent-driven and direct distribution networks.
