According to French ICMIF member Aéma Groupe, its acquisition of Aviva France last week meets the original ambition of Macif and Aésio Mutuelle, the founders of the Groupe, to become a leading mutualist group for the 11 million French people it protects.

The acquisition, which is considerable in terms of its economic size and strategic scope, brings Aviva France under the French mutual flag. Aéma Groupe says it thereby demonstrates its ability to grow and to serve the widest range of policyholders (individuals, professionals, self-employed and companies) through a complete range of solutions. Thanks to the complementary nature of its expertise, Aéma Groupe says, this multi-brand, multi-network, multi-trade group is strengthening its positions in all areas of insurance. Resolutely mutualist, Aéma Groupe consistently aims to make the voice of its members and customers heard in the public debate on social issues relating to protection and retirement.
