Newport Beach
A bit of history
Pacific Mutual Life was founded in Sacramento in 1868 and spent over a century building an insurance and investment business before moving its headquarters to Newport Beach in 1972. The company had already launched PIMCO the year before the move, seeding the bond-investing giant that still calls Newport Beach home. That finance and asset-management base has anchored the city's business community ever since, alongside the biotech and consumer companies that have since moved in along the coast.
