History

Prior to October 1981, all outstanding stock of United Investors Life was held by Waddell & Reed, Inc. (90 percent), the distributor and manager of the “United Group” of Mutual Funds, and its parent, Continental Investment Corporation (10 percent), a financial services holding company. At that time, Torchmark Corporation, through a subsidiary, acquired all three companies. In the first quarter of 1998, 81 percent of United Investors Life was acquired by affiliate company, Liberty National Life Insurance Company. The remaining 19 percent was contributed by Torchmark to Liberty National in 2006.[3] In December 2010, Torchmark sold United Investors Life to Birmingham, Alabama-based Protective Life Corporation.
