AIA Group Limited (Chinese: 友邦保險) is a Hong Kong multinational insurance and finance company. It is one of the largest publicly traded life insurance groups in the Asia-Pacific. AIA traces back to an American insurance firm that was established in Shanghai, China in 1919. The company then became the founding member of the American International Group (AIG) conglomerate, from which it was separated after the 2008 global financial crisis.
AIA underwrites life insurance for individuals and businesses, as well as accident and health insurance. It provides retirement planning and wealth management services, variable contracts, investments and securities. It and its wholly-owned subsidiaries operate in 18 markets in East Asia and Oceania, with more than 43 million policyholders.
