National Life Group Approves $23 Million Dividends for 2026

National Life Group Texas Campus morning viewADDISON, Tx. - (November 7, 2025) The National Life Group Board of Directors has approved an estimated payment of $23 million in dividends to eligible participating policyholders in 2026. This payment represents National Life Group’s ongoing commitment to its policyholders and continues the proud heritage of having paid dividends since 1855.

An annual dividend is a yearly payment from the life insurance company for certain policies. Every year the company determines what the dividend rate will be, or if they will pay a dividend at all. Annual dividends are not guaranteed and may increase or decrease from policy year to policy year.

“Since 1855, paying dividends to policyholders has been central to our mission of delivering peace of mind to everyone we serve," said Mehran Assadi, Chairman, CEO, and President of National Life Group. "We are committed to fulfilling our promises to families and business owners, and as we celebrate our 178th year as a mutual company, we will continue to grow with purpose and support our clients every step of the way.”

National Life Group has been keeping promises since 1848, providing access to flexible, secure life insurance and annuities for families, businesses, educators, and first responders nationwide. With an independent, entrepreneurial spirit, our values are to “Do good, Be good, Make good” for our customers, agents, employees, and the communities we serve. Learn more at NationalLife.com
