When choosing a DI carrier, it is important to consider the differences of a publicly traded stock company and that of a mutual company. It comes down to who is considered first. The primary purpose of a publicly traded stock company is to make a quarterly profit for the investors. The policyholders are merely customers. With a mutual company the policy owners ARE the owners of the company. A mutual company's primary priority is to serve the policyholders. A mutual company can more easily manage long term promises since short term thinking of investors is not a concern for management.
