About Forward Mutual
Forward Mutual Insurance Company (FMIC) began on November 6, 1875, when 31 property owners in the Town of Ixonia met in Ixonia Center to form the Town of Ixonia Mutual Fire Insurance Company. This was in response to the inability of rural Wisconsin property owners to find affordable fire insurance. FMIC has been licensed as a Town Mutual by the State of Wisconsin since that time and is still headquartered in Ixonia, Wisconsin. FMIC provides home and farm insurance to property owners in 16 counties in southeastern Wisconsin. FMIC maintains a high surplus to premium ratio through conservative investment policies and careful underwriting. The guiding vision is to be remain strong, progressive, and true to the company’s original tradition of “neighbor helping neighbor”.
