Finding a company with a history almost as old as the United States is not that difficult.  The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. was first founded in 1810 and has been a leading provider of life insurance products (among other investment and insurance products) since that time. The Hartford is currently serving customers all over the globe.  Its base includes individuals, companies and even institutions.  There are around 11,000 agents and more than 100,000 brokers/dealers that are working to help grow The Hartford family and also provide quality service to its current customers. The logo of a large stag is a great way for the company to visualize its strength and stability.  Always thinking ahead is not just the motto, but it is also the way The Hartford does all of its business.  Its doing all it can to offer the right products and the right prices for all the current and future needs. Originally founded in 1810 in Hartford, the company has stood proud and survived many of the country's major tragedies by putting the customer first. When a fire destroyed most of the financial district in New York in 1835, the company’s president used his own personal wealth to cover claims. It is acts like these and many more that keep The Hartford growing strong.
