Relationship driven Comprehensive Financial Planning for individuals and families to prepare for life's unforeseen obstacles yet plan for financial success at every stage of life. As a mutual company, people are part of our DNA. We don't have shareholders, so instead of reporting to Wall Street, we report to our policyowners. And since our company belongs to them, our profits go to them in the form of dividends. Not only is Northwestern Mutual's dividend payout larger than our two closest competitors combined we've paid them every year since 1872. So, when we do well, you do well, too.
