Imagining New Possibilities for Our Member Mutuals
The Mutual Group was founded on the belief that mutual insurers deserve a partner who understands their challenges and champions their potential. Our journey began when Chuck Chamness, former CEO of NAMIC, and Bain Capital Insurance came together with a shared interest in reimagining the possibilities for independent mutual insurance companies.
In 2023, this vision took shape through a partnership with GuideOne Insurance, an Iowa-based company with a 75-year history of serving religious organizations, nonprofits and human service agencies. Through a strategic investment and operational integration, Bain provided GuideOne with the capital needed to execute its ambitious goals while leveraging its robust operations platform to establish The Mutual Group, and our transformative membership model was born.
Our first-of-its-kind solution is designed to meet your business where you are—building on your unique strengths and addressing your challenges. It’s a pathway to long-term success that vendors and consultants simply can’t match: one that enhances your competitiveness without compromising your independent mutual status.
