BROOKFIELD NEWS, April 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. ((NYSE, TSX:BNT) today announced its year-end 2025 capital position with nearly $20 billion of group capital across its regulated insurance subsidiaries and holding companies.

Brookfield Wealth Solutions' total capital has grown from $5.7 billion in 2022 to $19.8 billion at year-end 2025 driven by its successful acquisition strategy and retained earnings.

This robust capital position supports Brookfield Wealth Solutions' commitment to provide financial security to policyholders across market cycles. With this level of financial resilience, Brookfield Wealth Solutions maintains the flexibility to expand its life and annuity and property/casualty platforms globally.

Statutory filings made by Brookfield Wealth Solutions' insurance subsidiaries show continued capital growth and enhanced financial resilience at its regulated companies. This groupwide and entity-level resilience has been recognized through the "A" financial strength ratings assigned to Brookfield Wealth Solutions' U.S. life and annuity companies, and the upgraded financial strength ratings at Blumont Annuity Company (Canada), along with stable ratings for its property and casualty businesses Argo and Farm Family.

Sachin Shah, CEO of Brookfield Wealth Solutions, said: "We have built a scaled and well-capitalized insurance platform with a resilient investment portfolio and disciplined growth model. Brookfield Wealth Solutions' businesses in the U.S. and Canada are established leaders, and we are building on that foundation through our growing presence in the U.K. and Japan."
