About the Company

Northwestern Mutual

Sells life insurance and financial advice

Northwestern Mutual sells life, disability income and long-term care insurance together with investment advice and wealth management to American families and business owners. It is owned by its policyholders rather than shareholders and has paid them dividends for more than 150 consecutive years. Its financial representatives build a full financial plan for each client and then sell the policies, brokerage accounts and managed portfolios that carry it out. The company earns money from insurance premiums, advisory fees and returns on a large bond and mortgage portfolio. It was founded in 1857 in Janesville, Wisconsin, and moved two years later to Milwaukee, where it is based.
