MASSMUTUAL HISPANIC BUSINESS OWNER PERSPECTIVE STUDY
We’re committed to the Latino community because we understand that providing insightful and engaging information in the client’s language of choice is critical to helping you build a long lasting relationship. The Business Owner Perspective Study is the only industry study about Hispanic business owner research that gives insights into America's economic engine. What’s important to you – protecting your loved ones from a loss, funding a child’s education, or enjoying a secure retirement surrounded by family – is what is important to your clients. By understanding their needs, we can better help you provide meaningful solutions to the people and businesses that make up your community.

We are proud to do our part by providing valuable resources to help these businesses continue to grow and thrive, which includes access to financial professionals in their communities who are also business owners. In addition, the HNBA honored MassMutual in 2016 with its prestigious Corporate Partner of the Year award for our outstanding commitment to service in the Latino community.
