MassMutual provides life insurance and financial protection products for individuals and families. As a mutual life insurer founded in 1851, it differs from publicly traded competitors by being owned by its policyholders, who share in the company’s outcomes and dividends. Its products typically include life insurance and related financial services designed to help people plan for protection, savings, and financial security. The company emphasizes the idea of a “living mutual”—people depending on one another for security and happiness—and aims to help customers achieve greater financial security and peace of mind through long-term, customer-owned protection and savings solutions.
