Last week, Aegon (Transamerica’s parent company) announced during their Capital Markets Day that they were making BIG changes to their overall business, including some that are impacting LTC Insurance.  While we’re disappointed to see another carrier leave this marketplace, we’re proud to say that LTCI Partners has written business with 15 different carriers in 2020.  We feel confident that our lineup of Traditional & Hybrid Life + LTC Insurance products is robust and meets advisors and consumers needs.
