History Northwestern Mutual was founded on March 2, 1857 in rural Wisconsin. The company is organized as a mutual to ensure that any profits would accrue to policyowners, not stockholders. In 1859, the young Northwestern Mutual's values are tested when a train wreck kills two policyowners. The claims totaled more than the company's assets, so the company president took out a personal loan. The beneficiaries were paid promptly. In 2000, The Northwestern Mutual Financial Network becomes the marketing identity for the company's distribution system of 7,800 financial representatives in 350 offices nationwide.
