Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, New York Life Insurance Company, and Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company

Summary: Four mutual life insurance companies (Guardian Life, Massachusetts Mutual, New York Life, and Northwestern Mutual) support the current proposal because it removes discriminatory risk weights based on public company status. They also request that the final rule grant investment-grade life insurance companies a specific 65% risk weight for all banks to better reflect their creditworthiness and ensure a level playing field.
