The document discusses key trends in the life insurance industry. It covers topics like demutualization of insurers, convergence with other financial services, the aging agent force, the financial crisis's impact including declining consumer confidence, and what it takes to succeed in a life insurance career. Life insurance sales declined sharply in 2008 and 2009 due to the crisis, while fixed annuity sales surged as consumers sought safe assets.

Since the emergence of the subprime market collapse more than a year ago, the financial markets have been extraordinarily turbulent. The government takeover of the giant mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the acquisitions of Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the federal government’s loan to AIG, the conversion of the last two independent investment banks into bank holding companies, and the $700-billion rescue of the financial sector all have combined to fundamentally reshape the financial services industry to a degree not seen since FDR’s New Deal.
