What is the number one life insurance company depends on country and ranking criteria like market share, revenue, financial strength, and customer satisfaction, but several companies are considered number one in their markets. Globally by revenue and assets, MetLife in the US and Allianz in Germany are among largest life insurers, but by market share in the United States, Northwestern Mutual is often ranked number one for best overall life insurance due to highest financial strength ratings A++ from AM Best, AAA from Fitch, Aaa from Moody's, paying dividends every year since 1872, and large market share for individual life insurance, followed by New York Life which is the largest mutual life insurer in US. In Japan, Nippon Life is number one private life insurer with over 80 trillion yen assets. In the UK, Aviva and Legal and General are largest. In Canada, Manulife Financial is number one life insurer by revenue and assets. In Australia, TAL Life which is owned by Dai-ichi Life is number one. In New Zealand, AIA and Partners Life are largest for new business. For best overall, many publications rank Northwestern Mutual as number one for whole life due to financial strength and dividend history, while for term life best value includes Haven Life and State Farm.
