  • To do that, let's look back in time at some of our Firm's ideas of the industry's outlook prior to TEFRA.
  • Jim Anderson, the President of our Firm, is fond of the metaphor, "The Four Horsemen".
    • These four horsemen are not the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
      • Neither did they form the hack field for Notre Dame.
      • Rather, they are the major forces which are threatening the life insurance industry.
    • The four horsemen threatening the life insurance industry's survival are taxation, expenses, replacement, and inflation.
