Delaware Life Sees Two Banks Pause Sales Amid $20 Billion Probes

Delaware Life, led by Mark Walter, faces pauses in sales from Truist Financial Corp. and Fifth Third Bancorp due to federal investigations into its asset disclosures. Approximately $20 billion in assets have been reported in connection with other entities controlled by Walter. Following subpoenas issued in February, Delaware Life's classification of affiliated assets was revised from 3% to 42%. Despite the inquiries, Delaware Life continues to engage with the banks to discuss operational trends and existing contracts, which reflects ongoing relationships amidst the scrutiny. This situation may impact investors' trust and decisions regarding Delaware Life and its perceived stability.
