Frequently asked questions
How does Illinois Mutual generate its investment returns?
The company's general account invests primarily in commercial mortgage loans and private credit instruments to match the duration of its disability-income and life-policy liabilities. It originates whole commercial real estate loans directly from its Peoria headquarters, holding them on balance sheet rather than packaging them for sale. Public fixed-income holdings complement the private credit book.
Is Illinois Mutual structured as a public company or a mutual?
Illinois Mutual is a private mutual insurance company, legally owned by its policyholders. It has never demutualized or issued public equity. That structure means no external shareholders can force a sale or dictate capital-management policy, giving the McCord family's leadership substantial autonomy over investment strategy and underwriting discipline.
How is the McCord family involved in the business today?
Katie McCord Jenkins, the fifth generation, leads the company as President and Chairperson. Her father, Michel A. McCord, remains chairman emeritus after a long tenure as chairman and CEO. The family's presence is reinforced by civic ties in Peoria, including the McCord Lecture Series at Bradley University, rather than by headline transactions.
