Guaranteed Foundation

The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, first founded in 1847, has become a pivotal player within the life insurance and annuities market. Their key objectives reside in creating tailored life insurance policies for clientele rather than taking on a one-size-fits-all approach. Essentially, Penn Mutual strives to help customers find confidence in their financial future through product offerings that include a variety of life insurances (whole, term, and universal), as well as a range of annuity types (traditional and market-linked). Since its inception, Penn Mutual has consistently held high financial strength ratings from top-drawer rating agencies like A.M. Best, Moody’s, or even Standard & Poor’s. Holding a rating of “A” or higher for nearly the last 100 years, Penn Mutual is one of the leading life insurance companies on the planet.
