What are the major differences between a mutual company vs a mutual holdings company?
A mutual life insurance company is an entity controlled by the owners of the participating (dividend paying) policies in force in that company. These are usually whole life policies. The dividends come from the companies divisible surplus. It is apportioned through complex formulae that take into account the profitability of the various series of policies in force. Factors such as better than expected mortality results, higher earnings than anticipated and savings in expenses are passed along in the form of policy dividends. Since mutual companies have no stockholders, there is no one other than the policy owners to assume the risks involved in running the company. Traditionally, mutual companies' policies have higher premiums than non-dividend paying policies from stock holder owned companies. The dividends are therefore, a return of an excess premium charge and are not dividends in the traditional sense. Most mutual life insurance companies (Prudential, MetLife, Equitable, John Hancock) converted to stock companies in the 1990s in order to better access capital markets. Others (Pacific Life, Mutual Trust) took the intermediate step of becoming mutual holding companies (MHC). The mutual company created a stock subsidiary to offer policies to the public and to conduct other related business. The stock subsidiary is wholly owned by the parent mutual company even though the mutual company no longer actively operates as a life insurance company. The policyholders of the mutual company are issued stock in the new company, or are given a cash payment that represents their share of the divisible surplus of the company. The insurance policies remain inforce for the same amount of coverage and the same premium payment. Dividends are still paid on the participating policies. Some times, the new MHC acts like a traditional mutual company emphasizing dividend paying whole life policies. In other examples, the new MHC acts more like a stock company in its product offerings, but still tend to pass along improvements to policy owners.

What are the benefits of Massachusetts mutual life insurance?
This depends on what type of coverage you are looking at. If you are considering Term insurance, one benefit would be that the policy is convertible to Whole Life insurance. This means that during the policy life, you are able to convert the Term insurance into Whole Life insurance without having to undergo medical underwriting.If you are considering Whole Life insurance, the biggest benefit is that Mass Mutual is a Mutual company which means it is not publicly traded. Therefore, the dividends you receive from a Whole Life policy should be greater than those with a public company. Mutual companies do not have to share profits with stock holders which is what allows them to pay higher dividends.This is not just the case with Mass Mutual, but also with Guardian, Northwestern Mutual, New York Life, etc..
Who were the owner of metropolitan insurance in the 1980's?
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company was a mutual company at that time and prior to then. It converted to a stock company as many of the large mutual companies did about then. A mutual company is owned by the policyholders meaning that if you owned a Metlife policy you were technically an owner. This is why their whole life policies paid dividends instead of interest which was much better. For full disclosure, I own and operate a small Independent Insurance Agency in Georgia and have for the past 22 years. I also worked for a direct writer for the 3 years before that.
