In 1919, Cornelius Vander Starr founded American Asiatic Underwriters in Shanghai with a vision to provide insurance solutions across Asia. What began as a modest operation in a dynamic, rapidly-changing region would grow into one of the world's most influential insurance companies. Over a century later, AIA Group Limited stands as the largest publicly traded pan-Asian life insurance group, operating across 18 markets in Asia-Pacific.
Today, AIA's purpose resonates deeply with millions: to help people live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives. This isn't just a slogan - it's a commitment that drives everything they do. Through their AIA One Billion initiative, they've set an ambitious goal to engage one billion people by 2030, improving physical and mental health while championing financial security. From their headquarters at AIA Central in Hong Kong, AIA continues to innovate, combining deep local expertise with regional strength to deliver comprehensive insurance and financial solutions that protect families and build futures across Asia.
