First Investors Gears Up To Celebrate "Customer Service Week"

New York, NY, October 1, 2008 - First Investors is pleased to once again participate in Customer Service Week, a national effort to raise awareness of the valuable role that customer service plays in organizations. Customer Service Week will take place the week of October 6, 2008.

"To us, every week is Customer Service Week," said Kathryn S. Head, Chairman of First Investors Corporation. "For nearly 80 years, First Investors has placed an emphasis on serving the needs of our clients. Therefore, given the nature of our client-focused culture, it's important to us to celebrate Customer Service Week."

The theme for this year's celebration is "One Team, One Goal." "We truly are 'One Team' at First Investors," said Marjorie Solowey, Vice President of Human Resources. "During the week, we'll stress the importance of team work, sharpen our service skills and have a little fun while accomplishing our goals."

First Investors takes a very personalized approach towards serving its clients, which differs from the product-focused strategy employed by many other firms. Financial Services Representatives meet one-on-one with clients in order to help them create investment and life insurance strategies. In addition, at sales offices located throughout U.S., and at the Company's Wall Street headquarters and Edison, New Jersey administrative and processing centers, associates provide top-notch service to both internal and external customers.

"The 'One Team, One Goal' theme captures the spirit of this Company," said Ms. Head. "We look forward to celebrating Customer Service Week in October, and delivering high quality service throughout the year."

First Investors has been in business since 1930. During that time we have successfully navigated many difficult economic periods in our nation’s history. Through the personalized service of financial services representatives located in our nationwide network of offices, First Investors uses a face-to-face approach to offer a range of products and services, including mutual funds, annuities and life insurance. Our representatives understand the cyclical nature of the markets, and work closely with clients to establish a disciplined approach to achieving long-term financial goals.
