Constellation Institutional Markets Returns to Pension Risk Transfer
Drawing on four decades of experience with legacy annuity books, Constellation Institutional Markets is re-entering the pension risk transfer sector. The move aims to assist plan sponsors in offloading long-term liabilities while securing benefit stability for participants through the firm’s expanded group annuity contract offerings.
Brij Grewal, president of Constellation Institutional Markets, characterized the pivot as a logical progression of the firm’s institutional strategy. By leveraging expertise in managing long-duration liabilities, the company intends to provide balance sheet certainty for sponsors. The programs are supported by the firm’s current financial standing, including an 'A' rating from AM Best and Fitch, and a 'Baa1' designation from Moody’s as of May 2026.
Under this initiative, group annuity contracts will be issued primarily through AuguStar Life Insurance Company, with National Security Life and Annuity Company handling obligations within New York. This expansion complements the broader Constellation family of businesses, which encompasses retirement services, life insurance, and asset management divisions.
