Name that company
I trace my roots back to 1873, when the Widows and Orphans Friendly Society was founded, aiming to offer protections to working people. Early offerings included coverage for illness and accidents, old-age pensions and burial funds. The 1918-1919 influenza pandemic cost me more than $20 million in claims. Today, with a market value recently near $32 billion, I’m a global financial powerhouse, recently managing more than $1.5 trillion and serving around 50 million customers in more than 40 countries. I offer life insurance, health insurance, annuities, retirement accounts, workplace benefits and more. My symbol is a geological formation. Who am I?
