Equitable Posts $6.2 Billion in First-Year Retirement Premiums in Q3 2026, Up 14%, as RILA Leads Ahead of the Corebridge Close
Equitable Holdings, headquartered in New York City, New York, reported third-quarter 2026 results showing first-year retirement premiums of $6.2 billion, up 14% year over year, with registered index-linked annuities (RILA) driving the gain. The company released the results weeks before its planned year-end close of an all-stock merger with Corebridge Financial.
In the retirement segment, operating earnings rose to $432 million, from $405 million in the prior-year quarter, while net inflows held at $1.1 billion, roughly flat with the third quarter of 2025.
On product trends, LIMRA's U.S. Individual Annuity Sales Survey recorded RILA sales of $79.5 billion in 2025, up 20% from 2024, and LIMRA projects the market to exceed $85 billion in 2026. Based on LIMRA's 2025 rankings, Equitable ranked first in RILA sales with $15.4 billion and Corebridge ranked tenth at $2.4 billion; once the merger closes, the combined entity will hold the number one position in RILA sales by volume on 2025 figures.
LIMRA data also show total U.S. annuity sales of $461.3 billion in 2025, a record annual total. Equitable said independent broker-dealers represented more than half of all registered annuity product sales in 2025, with RILA accounting for the largest share of growth within that group.
