AXA S.A. is a French global investment, retirement, and insurance group with worldwide headquarters in Paris, France.
AXA was founded in 1816 as Mutuelle de L’assurance contre L’incendie. When it acquired Compagnie Parisienne de Garantie in 1978 the name was changed to Mutuelles Unies.
The name AXA was finally adopted in 1999. Despite being in upper case, the name is not an acronym; it was chosen because it is easily pronounced by people who speak any language. This was important to the global company and its international presence.
