2. Of all the reasons policyowners and clients value
Northwestern Mutual as their partner on the path
to financial security, one is paramount. It’s often
called the company’s “mutual advantage.”
3. Northwestern Mutual did not invent “mutuality.”
Over time, however, and continuing today, our company
has become what many point to as a pre-eminent
example of the power inherent in the mutual form of
corporate governance.
Indeed, Northwestern Mutual offers dramatic evidence that a company governed by mutual
values can be, in its field, best in the nation. Northwestern Mutual is the World’s Most
Admired life insurance company in FORTUNE® magazine’s 2011 annual survey. Further,
during the period that FORTUNE® conducted its survey of America’s Most Admired
companies, we were the only company to lead an industry for 25 consecutive years from
1983-2008.1
The mutual structure of Northwestern Mutual allows the company to act differently than
most publicly traded stock companies, which typically must split their focus between
customers and shareholders.
In the typical stock company, profits go to As a mutual, Northwestern Mutual
shareholders. In contrast, Northwestern has no shareholders. The company
Mutual manages the company in the best focuses solely and directly on
interests of its policyowners. After setting its customers.
aside a safe margin for reserves and surplus
each year, the company returns gains from
operations, which would otherwise be “profits,” to its participating policyowners in the form
of dividends. In other words, our mutual structure brings into alignment the interests of both
policyowners and the company. For policyowners, that’s an enormous “mutual advantage.”
There are others. As a mutual, the company is free to employ a long-term investment
approach when it comes to the general account assets that back our insurance products,
rather than focus on meeting the short-sighted expectations of quarterly earnings reports.2
As a strategy, long-term investing has served us well in all economic environments. Respected
experts praise the company’s mutual structure and values as underpinning a “very strong
competitive position” within the U.S. individual life insurance market3—one in which
Northwestern Mutual focuses on helping its policyowners and clients achieve financial security.
As practiced by Northwestern Mutual, mutuality extends well beyond these basic mutual
advantages. The benefits of our mutuality are manifested in four key values:
• Doing what’s right for policyowners and other clients
• Building long-term relationships to meet client needs
• Building and preserving financial strength
• ffering world-class products and expert guidance that serve changing needs over a lifetime
O
We invite you to explore these values on the following pages, to see how our brand of
mutuality sets us apart. We believe you will find it to be … a mutual advantage.

Maintaining Financial Strength
Our mutuality sets us apart financially. We are built to withstand
the good times and bad.
On a basic level, of course, financial strength is an obligation. It arises
from our commitment to policyowners, from the personal security
they entrust with us. Company founders pioneered a culture of scrupulous
responsibility for policyowner funds—to keep long-term financial promises.
Very few companies have the highest financial strength ratings awarded
to any life insurer by all four of the major credit rating agencies, let alone
during the most trying economic times.
Our approach to mutuality, including our long-term investment strategy
and sharp focus on operating fundamentals, helps us maintain the highest
industry financial strength ratings.

to capital, there are significant advantages of remaining
a mutual company. These advantages include extremely
competitive returns to participating policyowners in the form

Dividends for Northwestern Mutual policies are distributions of the company’s surplus. They arise when premiums
plus investment income are more than enough to cover company operating expenses (including taxes), claim costs,
guaranteed increases in policy cash values, and additions to surplus. Dividends are paid annually to policyowners in
proportion to company earnings on their policies. However, decisions with respect to the determination and allocation
of divisible surplus are at the discretion and sound business judgment of the company’s board of trustees. There is no
guaranteed specific method or formula for the determination and allocation of divisible surplus. Accordingly, the
company’s approach is subject to change. Also, there is no guarantee that any dividend will be paid on an individual
policy in any given year.
