Who are Royal London life insurance?
Royal London are the largest mutual life, investment, and pensions company in the UK. The company was founded out of a London coffee shop in 1861, when a small number of clients agreed to share some of their resources to look after each others’ financial wellbeing. Because it’s a mutual fund, Royal London doesn’t make profits for shareholders – instead, that money goes back to its members and their families.
