SILAC Announces Acquisition by Hildene Capital Management
December 9, 2025

SILAC has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by Hildene Capital Management, a $17+ billion credit-focused alternative asset manager. This acquisition strengthens SILAC's position in the annuities space and positions them as an even stronger partner for agents moving forward.

The good news: nothing changes in how you work with SILAC. Your day-to-day operations, contacts, and current strategy remain the same. This acquisition simply provides SILAC with additional resources to enhance their capabilities and maintain their commitment to innovation.

With Hildene's support, SILAC will have:

  • Additional resources to accelerate their product strategy
  • Enhanced and diversified capabilities
  • Bolstered financial strength for long-term reliability
  • Continued focus on helping clients meet retirement goals

Upon the transaction's close (expected in the first half of 2026), Dan Acker, currently SILAC's President and Chief Marketing Officer, will assume the role of CEO.
