<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nForward Mutual Insurance Company was organized and incorporated in 1875 by local community property owners in Ixonia, Wisconsin and is now licensed to write property and casualty insurance throughout the State of Wisconsin. It currently writes primarily home and farm owners insurance policies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forward Mutual Insurance Company continues to operate by the founding tradition of \u201cneighbor helping neighbor.\u201d As a mutual insurance company, Forward Mutual is owned by its policyholders. The sole focus is in serving policyholders needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are several requirements Forward Mutual will adhere to under its new 611 status. Because they bring more protection to our policyholders, Forward views them as beneficial to your mutual. In doing so, Forward will now participate in the Wisconsin Insurance Security Fund, a non-profit legal entity that protects Wisconsin resident policyholders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new year brings great optimism here at Forward Mutual as we continue doing business for the long term benefit of our agents and policyholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
