People define the best life insurance company in different ways. Some go by rating agencies: AM Best, S&P, Moody's, Fitch, Weiss, or even independent sources like The Street. Some go by consumer ratings. Some judge life insurance companies by their size. For others, it is the one with the lowest price.
So it is impossible to peg one life insurance company as the best as no one company fits these variables in every category. If you were to look just at agency ratings, New York Life, TIAA-CREF, and Northwestern Mutual all have highest ratings from the first four ratings agencies I listed above.
