Questions about Northwestern Mutual? We've got answers.

How much can I expect to pay for your products and services?

Our pricing for insurance and fees for investing are straightforward, and we'll always be upfront about them. What you pay monthly (or yearly) for our insurance options is determined by things like the amount of coverage you need and your age. And depending on the type of investment account (e.g. brokerage, advisory or private client) that works best for you, you'll pay a quarterly fee based on the value of the assets in your account.

Our advisors will look at where you are now, and where you want to go, tailoring your plan from a range of financial options designed to reinforce each other to get you there. That way, you'll have the confidence to live the way you want now, and down the road.

What is a financial plan, exactly?

A financial plan helps you make the most of what you have, no matter how much you have, so you can live the life you've always wanted.
