Frequently asked questions
Who owns Americo Life?
Americo Life is owned by the London family through Financial Holding Corporation (FHC), a private holding company. Michael Merriman serves as CEO of FHC, overseeing both the insurance operations and the broader investment portfolio. The family's ownership remains closely held, with no publicly disclosed plans for succession or external capital.
How does Americo Life invest its general account assets?
Americo's general account exhibits a distinctive tilt toward direct real estate ownership rather than relying exclusively on publicly traded bonds. The firm owns Museum Tower, The Oxbow mixed-use development, the commercial property at 300 West 11th Street, and its own headquarters building — all in the Kansas City area. It also holds Argus Health Systems, a healthcare services platform, giving the portfolio an operating-company dimension uncommon among mid-market insurers.
