IL&P

i am removing the legal dispute on IL&P. It is now with the European Court of Justice. It appears - note the court is yet to make a judgement - but it seems that the acquisition of Irish Life by Great West was illegal. However the remedy would be financial compensation for the IL&P shareholders rather than a reversal of the sale. If so, this event is of little relevance for this article. The ECJ could take 18 months to two years to make a judgement. If the ECJ reverses the sale then this piece can be added back. ClemMacGána (talk) 08:39, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal: The Great-West Life Assurance Company

I'm proposing merging the linked article here since it doesn't seem notable outside of its parent corporation. The sole usable source there is for the sale of its US operations to Cigna; the other source is failing to connect for me and in any case seems to be a company listing. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 20:31, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article is of more importance than it appears. Through purchases Great West Financial has become the 2nd or 3rd largest provider of 401(k)s in the U.S. GW is very evasive about who owns their financial services side. All I know is that an article in Morningstar Magazine cited "Great West, Empower and Putnam share a common parent."

This is important fiduciary information for plan sponsors. In addition, Empower (the investing management arm) does its best to get 401(k) plans into what they call the "Key" fund, as opposed to money markets and short term bonds. The Key is an unsecured loan to somebody (hard to find out who).

Given the amount of money Great West handles for Americans, I suggest this be moved from Low High Interest to High Interest — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.240.185.186 (talk) 18:52, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Empower Retirement

not enough separate information, better to keep with main company DGG ( talk ) 07:58, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - Per nom. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reb1981 (talk • contribs) 23:50, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 20:53, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @DGG: and @Reb1981: Seems like Empower got a bunch of press after getting the naming rights for the Denver Broncos stadium. Think it's worthwhile to let them have their own page again? Central Midfielder (talk) 21:45, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
