NNY and DLNY are New York-domiciled life insurance companies, and Nassau plans to merge DLNY into NNY.
“It has been our pleasure to work with the team at Group 1001 and Delaware Life, enabling the sale of their non-strategic business line," said Phil Gass, Chief Executive Officer of Nassau. “As Nassau’s fourth insurance acquisition, the closing of this transaction marks yet another milestone as we continue to expand our New York presence. We look forward to welcoming the DLNY policyholders to Nassau.”
"We have worked closely with Nassau Financial Group to ensure a smooth transition for our policyholders,'' said Dan Towriss, CEO and President of Group 1001, the parent company of Delaware Life. "Our highest priority has been to ensure that this change is as seamless as possible."
DLNY is a provider of fixed annuities, variable annuities, and life insurance products with approximately 16,000 policies in force and $1.6 billion in assets as of March 31, 2023. The company does not have employees, and its business was managed as part of Delaware Life.
