Prudential Financial Portfolio holdings
Prudential Financial is an insurance and investment company that began in 1875 as a burial insurer called the Widows and Orphans Friendly Society. Its founder, John F. Dryden, later became a U.S. Senator. The company sells insurance and retirement plans and manages investments for individuals and institutions. It later changed from a mutual insurer owned by its policyholders to a company owned by shareholders, and its stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in December 2001. In 2013 it bought the individual life insurance business of The Hartford. Its Rock of Gibraltar symbol dates to the 1890s, and it has no connection to Britain's Prudential plc.
