Primerica is a financial-services company founded in 1977 and based in Duluth, Georgia. Formerly part of Citigroup, Primerica became an independent publicly traded company in 2010 and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PRI. The company is a member of the Direct Selling Association and is widely recognized as one of the largest independent financial-services marketing organizations in North America.
Primerica serves middle-income families through a large network of independent representatives. Its representatives offer term life insurance, auto and homeowners insurance referrals, and other financial-services products, including mutual funds, variable annuities, segregated funds, managed accounts, mortgage solutions, identity theft protection, prepaid legal services, and debt-consolidation-related services. Mutual funds and annuities are offered through Primerica's licensed broker-dealer subsidiary.
Primerica's business is built around a direct-selling financial-services model supported by recruiting, licensing, training, and sales-force development. Representatives can earn compensation from their own product sales and referrals, as well as from sales activity within the organizations they build and support. The company remains active at Primerica.com and has also received advertising-claim scrutiny, including a 2021 DSSRC review involving atypical income claims used to promote the business opportunity.
