About Foresters Financial

Foresters Financial is an international financial services provider with a unique history that began in 1874 when we set out to provide access to life insurance for average working families. More than 140 years later, we provide personal insurance, savings and investing, and pension planning solutions that help families achieve long-term financial health and security.

Throughout our history, we have been at the forefront of several milestones in the life insurance landscape, often pioneering trends that would later become commonplace. One of our first leaders, Dr. Oronhyatekha, was one of Canada’s first Native doctors to include western medicine in his practice. A man ahead of his time, Dr. Oronhyatekha championed the rights of women, children and minorities. He also insisted on admitting women as full members of the organisation and providing benefits to the orphans of Foresters members.

Today, more than three million customers and members in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States benefit from the foundation of experience, expertise and reliability we have built over two centuries. During this time, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to help improve family well-being, and each year we invest millions to support causes that enrich the lives of families and communities.

When you trust Foresters Financial with your savings and investments, personal insurance, and pension planning needs, you’re not only accessing our global network of experienced financial experts; you’re joining an organisation with a 140-year history of giving back to families and communities. 

We are proud of the long-term relationships we have formed with our customers and members, nurtured over the years through extraordinary service and solid investment results. And we’re equally proud of the many ways we give back to families in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States. 

Whether we’re building playgrounds in underserviced neighbourhoods, preparing emergency kits for victims of natural disasters or cleaning up beaches, we go wherever families need us. 

And for our more than one million members, we provide valuable member benefits and opportunities to enjoy quality family time or give back through volunteering efforts that directly benefit local communities.
