Mutual life insurers restructure as mutual holding companies to gain financial flexibility

Article Abstract:

Mutual holding companies are the most sought after restructuring choice of mutual life insurance companies in pursuit of their goals of increasing capital and expanding marketing to include various financial services. The choice has been possible since 1995 when states began authorizing the conversion of mutual life insurance companies into holding companies. The preference is over the previously used and more expensive options of conversion to stock companies or mergers.
