GLENVIEW, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

For the fifth consecutive year, Combined Insurance, a leading provider of individual supplemental accident, disability, health and life insurance products, and an ACE Group company, has been named to Ward's 50, a list of top performing insurance companies that have achieved outstanding results in the areas of safety, consistency and financial performance over a five year period. Since 2000, Combined Insurance has made the list 14 times.

Each year, the Ward Group, a leading provider of benchmarking and best practices studies for insurance companies, analyzes nearly 800 U.S.-based life-health insurance companies to identify the top performers.
