FBL's Financial Strength

Everyday we make commitments to our customers that we will take care of them when they encounter losses, whether property or life. It's why the companies that make up FBL Financial Group exist, and nothing is more important. FBL Financial Group is well positioned to fulfill its promises and to meet the needs of its policyholders, employees, agents, communities and Farm Bureau constituents.

The current economic environment is challenging, but manageable. With FBL's solid business fundamentals, we are navigating through these challenging times. Our foundation is built upon:

High quality investment portfolio - The quality of our overall portfolio is high with over 96 percent of our fixed maturity securities being investment grade.

Well diversified investment portfolio - As of December 31, 2008, FBL Financial Group, Inc., the parent company of Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company and EquiTrust Life Insurance Company, had total invested assets of $10.9 billion. These investments are well diversified by individual issue, industry and asset class. We manage our credit exposure on an enterprise-wide basis and have limits in place for each credit exposure.

Financial and capital strength - The capital levels for Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company and EquiTrust Life Insurance Company are several times the amount required by the insurance regulators in the states where we do business. And we remain committed to maintaining the capital levels necessary for "A" ratings from A.M. Best and Standard & Poor's.

We have a successful track record of meeting needs and fulfilling promises throughout our nearly 70-year history. We will manage through these turbulent times and act prudently for the benefit of our policyholders, employees, agents and shareholders.
