In January of 2004, World Insurance Company became a sister company to American Republic Insurance Company, headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, through a merger of World’s mutual insurance holding company into the American Republic Mutual Holding Company structure.

Then, in March of 2004, the members of the mutual holding company voted to change the name from American Republic Mutual Holding Company to American Enterprise Mutual Holding Company.  From here, we began building stronger, more customer-friendly brands under our corporate identity—AmericanEnterprise.

Under the newly-formed AmericanEnterprise, World Insurance customers have more financial strength, additional resources, and more efficiencies found with larger organizations.
