Mutual Company

Definition


Mutual Company (Canada, insurance) — An insurance company legally owned by and operated for the exclusive benefit of its policyholders, not outside shareholders. Everyone who buys an eligible policy automatically becomes a voting member (“mutual policyholder”) with the right to elect the board of directors and to receive any dividends that may be declared from the company’s surplus when claims and expenses are paid. Profits are returned to members either through premium reductions, enhanced benefits, or cash distributions, rather than being paid to external investors.
