What it does
Lincoln National operates through four insurance and retirement businesses in the United States: life insurance, annuities, group protection and retirement plan services. It sells term, universal and variable life products, along with fixed and index-linked annuities, workplace disability and leave benefits, and defined-contribution plan administration. Products reach customers through brokers, advisers, employers and other financial intermediaries. The company is based in Radnor, Pennsylvania.

Who it is priced against

Why Closelook tracks it
