History and Background
Equitable Life Insurance Company was founded in 1859 by a group of New York City businessmen. The company’s first policy was issued in 1860, and by the end of the 19th century, Equitable had become one of the largest life insurers in the United States.
In the early 20th century, Equitable continued to grow and expand its product offerings. The company introduced new products such as annuities, disability insurance, and group life insurance. Equitable also expanded its international presence, opening offices in Canada, Europe, and Asia.
In the 1990s, Equitable faced a number of challenges, including a decline in interest rates and increased competition from other life insurers. The company also faced regulatory scrutiny for its sales practices. In 1999, Equitable was acquired by AXA, a French insurance company.
Today, Equitable Life Insurance Company is a subsidiary of AXA. The company continues to offer a wide range of life insurance, annuities, and other financial products. Equitable is committed to providing financial security and peace of mind to its customers.
