We exist to free Americans from financial anxiety. Every day, our solutions enable policyowners and clients to protect what they've worked so hard for and grow their wealth. We're dedicated to expanding financial access in underserved communities, reducing the wealth gap, and empowering economic growth by helping build generational wealth.
Improving lives through financial security
We approach financial planning differently. We ask deeper questions and listen closely. We pursue long-term value over short-term gain. And we have access to a range of exclusive solutions designed to deliver better outcomes.
With a network of more than 22,000 financial advisors and team members across hundreds of locations in the United States, we build lifelong relationships with clients, understanding their needs and crafting personalized plans as unique as they are.
Our comprehensive approach considers both risk management and growth because we believe that optimizing a plan with insurance, investments, and guaranteed income is the best way to help policyowners and clients reach their goals.

Powering change through responsible investment
Maximizing long-term value for our policyowners is our first and foremost goal as a mutual company. Our General Account strives to earn superior risk-adjusted investment returns while maintaining our unsurpassed financial strength. We accomplish these results by having a well-balanced, diversified portfolio that includes environmentally and socially responsible investments.
Our Impact Investment Fund directs capital to businesses that support and improve underserved communities, creating local and national economic benefits. Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, our venture capital arm, includes investments that support entrepreneurs who have been underserved in accessing capital.

Reducing the wealth gap
We exist to free Americans from financial anxiety—including the people and communities who have been underinsured and left out of financial spaces and conversations.
Through the Northwestern Mutual Black Founder Accelerator®, we aim to reduce barriers to financial access by supporting start-up entrepreneurs from a wide range of constituencies. Each year, Northwestern Mutual selects 10 companies to receive mentorship, access to a 12-week business training program, and a $100,000 investment. Find out more.
By partnering with qualified suppliers, regardless of their size or ownership, we're helping entrepreneurs strengthen the communities they operate in and drive economic growth, while contributing to a value-centered and resilient supply chain. Partner with us.
