About Corebridge Financial Life Insurance

Corebridge Financial, formerly known as AIG, entered the insurance market in 1919 and has become a leading global life insurance organization. The company has $984 billion life insurance coverage in force as of Dec. 31, 2022.

AIG rebranded to Corebridge Financial in early 2022 to announce their Life & Retirement business to be a standalone company.

Within the first quarter of 2023, the rebrand yielded positive results. Corebridge Financials’ investor report found that premiums and deposits grew 45% compared to the prior year’s quarter.

Corebridge Financial’s life insurance products include term life, universal and final expense insurance policies. Each policy has different benefits, with term life being one of the more affordable options. Life insurance riders are available to add onto most policies for additional coverage.

Corebridge Financial was selected as one of the Best Life Insurance Companis of 2023 by our independent editorial team.

Types of Corebridge Financial Life Insurance Products

Corebridge Financial offers three main types of life insurance products — term, indexed universal and final expense.

They do not sell traditional whole life or universal life insurance products, which is rare compared to other issuers.

Every Corebridge Financial policy varies, so it’s best to consider factors like rates and how long you want your insurance policy to last.

You can always use a life expectancy calculator if you’re not sure how long you want your Corebridge Financial life insurance to last.

Permanent Life Insurance

Corebridge Financial offers two indexed universal life insurance policies. These policies offer lifelong coverage, a cash value component and potential for cash growth by linking performance to a market index.

Features of Corebridge Financial Index Universal Policies:

Lifelong coverage
Cash value component
Flexible premiums and death benefit
Multiple riders available at an additional cost
Opportunity for no medical exam approval
Multiple index interest strategy choices

Term Life Insurance

Term life insurance policies offer temporary coverage with a fixed death benefit and premiums. While most insurers offer term lengths of 10, 20 and 30 years, Corebridge offers unique flexibility.

Corebridge Financial offers 18 term periods, from 10 to 35 years. For example, you could have a 17, 22 or 29 term length, which most other issuers don’t offer.

There are also options to skip a medical exam and convert your policy to an indexed universal permanent policy.

Features of Corebridge Financial Term Policies:

18 term periods, between 10- and 35-year term lengths
Fixed premiums and death benefit
Options for simplified underwriting without a medical exam
Can convert your term policy into a permanent policy

Final Expense Life Insurance

Corebridge Financial’s final expense insurance, also known as burial insurance, is a type of whole life policy. This policy is intended to cover end-of-life expenses or small amounts of outstanding debt.

There are age restrictions and generally low death benefits for a costly premium. For example, a 50-year-old man can get a final expense policy through Corebridge with $20,000 in coverage for $63.65 a month.

However, the same man could also get a 10-year term policy with $250,000 in coverage for only $24.56 a month. You get over 12 times the coverage amount for almost one-third of the price. Carefully consider each life insurance type before making a commitment.

Features of Corebridge Financial Final Expense Policies:

Approved coverage within minutes through a quick online application
No medical exam
Offers coverage between $5,000 to $35,000
Optional riders available
Age restrictions for those 50 to 80 years old

Disclaimer: While RetireGuide always strives for gender inclusivity in our work, much of the financial industry’s existing data is classified by traditional gender binaries. While we make every effort to use inclusive language in our reporting, our resources may at times be limited to the available population data.

If you’re nonbinary, refer to your sex assigned at birth when estimating life insurance costs. If you’re transgender, reach out to the life insurance company to confirm their process. Some issuers honor your actual gender when estimating costs, while others may ask for your sex assigned at birth.

Many young individuals sign up for Corebridge Financial’s term life insurance policies since they don’t increase premiums over time, resulting in a stream of low, steady premiums for years to come.
