History[edit | edit source]

AIA Group was established in 1919 in Shanghai by American entrepreneur Cornelius Vander Starr. The company was originally known as American Asiatic Underwriters (AAU), which was later renamed American International Underwriters (AIU). In 1931, the company opened its first branch office in Hong Kong.

In 2009, AIA Group was separated from its parent company, American International Group (AIG), following the global financial crisis. AIA Group was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in October 2010, marking one of the largest initial public offerings (IPOs) in Hong Kong's history.
