Rural Mutual Continues to be Recognized as One of the Nation’s Best Insurance Companies

Madison-based Rural Mutual Insurance Company (Rural Mutual) announces its selection as a ‘Ward’s 50^® Top Performer.’ This marks nine consecutive years the company has been recognized for this award. Annually, Ward Group analyzes the financial performance of over 3,000 property-casualty insurance companies domiciled in the United States and identifies the top performers.

Each of the top 50 companies is awarded the Ward’s 50^® Seal and their names are listed as the Ward’s 50^® Top Performers for the year. Each Ward’s 50^® company has passed all safety and consistence screens and achieved superior performance over the five previous years analyzed.

“This comes at a great time as we are experiencing an unusual string of bad weather events this year,” said Peter Pelizza, CEO of Rural Mutual. “I am extremely proud of our employees and agents as they work diligently to live up to our promises to our policyholders and members. It is great to know that we have the financial resources to meet the challenges presented to us.”

Pelizza also acknowledges that this recognition means that Rural Mutual is better prepared to uphold the company’s mission statement to protect its clients and help them rebuild after a loss. “That truly is the most important thing we do.”

Rural Mutual has been providing a full line of insurance products exclusively to families, businesses and farms in Wisconsin for over 80 years. Since Rural Mutual does business in only one state, premiums paid here, stay here to keep Wisconsin strong.
