Q: How long has American Savings Life Insurance Company been in business?

A: Since April 1954 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Q: What is American Savings Life's rating?

A: American Savings Life has a long history of consistent profitability and having dollar-for-dollar one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry. In part because we are currently licensed to do business in a select few states, we may not fit the model the rating agencies require to receive an “A” rating. We refer to our financial reports with our proven history of profitability and exceptional solvency as hard evidence of our financial strength and solvency.

Q: How can ASL afford to offer great rates on its Annuities & Life Insurance?

A: ASL has a very different business model than the typical life insurance company. We operate with very low overhead. We do not have high executive salaries and bonuses and extensive layers of management. We also have very low marketing and sales expenses, with directly appointed independent life insurance and annuity agents. We also have a proven history of profitability that is significantly better than industry averages.

Q: How does ASL invest its assets?

A: Since 1954, ASL has maintained the same investment model of investing the majority of its assets in a very conservative yet profitable niche real estate loan product. These secured loans are unique because we only loan on average 55% of the property’s value while earning an average of 8%-10% interest. The Company has been consistently profitable, even through the real estate market corrections and the Great Recession.
