Question 3

Is Primerica a reputable company?

Accepted Answer

A.L. Williams & Associates (A.L. Williams), the precursor to Primerica, was founded on February 10, 1977, by Arthur L. Williams, Jr., his wife, Angela, and 85 other colleagues. The new company pioneered the concept of "Buy Term (Life Insurance) and Invest the Difference." This core philosophy illustrated the idea that its mostly middle-income client base could purchase sufficient protection with term life insurance and also systematically save for the future in a separate investment vehicle such as mutual fund Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs).

Through a series of acquisitions and mergers, A.L. Williams began operating as Primerica Financial Services in 1991, its name changing once again upon the company's Initial Public Offering (IPO), on April 1, 2010, to Primerica, Inc.
