Lincoln National Corp., better known as Lincoln Financial Group, is a U.S. financial services company that sells insurance and retirement products. Its main offerings include life insurance, annuities, employer retirement plans, and workplace benefits such as disability and group life coverage. It serves individual consumers, employers, and plan sponsors who want to protect income, save for retirement, or manage long-term financial risk.

The company makes money mainly by collecting premiums, fees, and charges on the products it sells and administers. In life insurance, it takes on risk in exchange for premium payments. In retirement and annuity products, it earns fees for managing assets, administering accounts, and providing guaranteed income features. That mix gives it a business model tied to long-term contracts and customer relationships rather than one-time sales.

What makes Lincoln National’s role different is that it sits between households, employers, and the long-term savings system. It helps people turn paychecks into retirement income and protection against death, disability, or market swings. That makes the company part insurer, part retirement account manager, and part distributor of financial protection products.
