Venerable Successfully Acquires Investment Adviser and Closes Reinsurance Transaction

WEST CHESTER, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Venerable Holdings, Inc. (Venerable) is pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition of SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (SAAMCo) and the close of the reinsurance transaction involving The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (USL), the final two components of the landmark agreement with Corebridge Financial, Inc. (Corebridge) announced in June 2025. Venerable previously announced the commencement of new business variable annuity flow reinsurance and completion of the $48bn reinsurance transaction with American General Life Insurance Company (AGL), an entity of Corebridge, in August 2025.

In acquiring SAAMCo, Venerable welcomes 53 employees to the organization and is celebrating a broader footprint with a new office in Houston and an expanded presence in New York City at One World Trade Center.

Tim Brown, President of Venerable Advisers, said, “We are thrilled to welcome our new colleagues from SAAMCo to our Venerable community. Their deep expertise will be invaluable as we continue to grow our investment adviser capabilities and offerings, and I’m confident their talent will help drive our collective success.”

With the closing of all three transactions, Venerable’s total assets under risk management will increase from $67bn to $118bn, on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2025. In line with Venerable Advisers growth strategy, the acquisition of SAAMCo will more than triple assets under management across affiliated advisers to approximately $52bn.

“The successful close of all aspects of this landmark agreement marks a pivotal moment for Venerable,” said David Marcinek, Chairman and CEO of Venerable. “By expanding our capabilities as a leading provider of risk transfer solutions we are better positioned than ever to serve our insurance clients and the retirement sector more broadly.”

Citi and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC served as financial advisors, Milliman, Inc. as actuarial advisor, and Sidley Austin LLP as legal counsel to Venerable in connection with this transaction.
