“As a mutual company, we put our policyholders first, which has undoubtedly helped us achieve the success we’ve enjoyed over our long tenure in the industry,” explains Thomas Harris, executive vice president of distribution at Penn Mutual. “We have positioned ourselves well to continue growing and taking advantage of opportunities in the marketplace. We know life insurance, and because of that, our life insurance business is very strong.
