The worst pandemic in a century highlighted the importance of the peace of mind and financial security we help provide our customers and their families. We took care of those who count on us when it mattered most," said Chris Hilger, Securian Financial's chairman, president and CEO. "Throughout the year, we navigated a challenging environment by carefully managing our capital, taking actions to mitigate the negative impact of very low interest rates and pursuing growth opportunities consistent with our risk appetite. In addition, we continued to build our capital level and maintained our excellent overall financial strength," said Hilger. Performance on key metrics
