Description: GL Globe Life

Globe Life Inc. (NYSE: GL) is a US-based insurance provider that, through its subsidiaries, offers life and supplemental health insurance products primarily targeted at lower middle- and middle-income families.

Its product portfolio spans whole, term, and other life insurance, including policies for children, as well as Medicare supplement and limited-benefit supplemental health products covering conditions such as accident, cancer, critical illness, heart, and intensive care. Additional offerings include final expense, accidental death, mortgage protection, and hospital insurance. Globe Life distributes via a multi-channel approach using direct-to-consumer, exclusive independent agents, general agency independent agents, and brokers.
