AmeriLife Group says it has acquired a majority stake in The Achievement Group (TAG).
AmeriLife is a Clearwater, Florida-based life, health and annuity distributor.
TAG is a Des Moines, Iowa-based life and annuity distributor that was founded in 1994. It offers a handy AnnuityRateWatch.com dashboard on its website that shows, for example, that sample rates range from 1% for a 1-year annuity to 3.65% for a 20-year multi-year-guaranteed annuity.
The companies are not saying how much AmeriLife is paying for TAG, but AmeriLife says Brad Tison, TAG's founder, will become a principal in AmeriLife's annuity and retirement planning brokerage division.
