As such, most of the current book of business is in the 2-to-500 size market with a smaller portion in the 500-to-3000 size market. Nearly all of MutualOne's group life business was sold as an add-on to their medical sales. Management has decided to grow via acquisitions in the ancillary product lines of dental, group short-term disability and group life. Therefore, the group life department is completing an assessment of their assumption-setting process in preparation for an impending acquisition.
