AXA run its investment branch through AXA Investment Managers (IM).

AXA Isle of Man AXA Isle of Man Limited was originally created as a subsidiary of AXA Sun Life in the United Kingdom, but since the Isle of Man is not a part of the United Kingdom it is regulated only by the laws of the Isle of Man which boasts as being a tax haven rival to the Cayman Islands.
Unlike the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man does not require the same access to liquidity of funds in case the company runs into problems. AXA Isle of Man Limited advertises itself as a repository for citizens of the United Kingdom and the Channel Islands who seek to shelter their assets from high taxation.
While the company trades upon the AXA logo and name and group advertising which promotes the total wealth of the group, the assets of the Isle of Man company are limited to those of the Isle of Man company itself, and this poses some risk since the island has its own police and governmental regulatory agencies. Relationship with the United Kingdom is primarily restricted to foreign affairs.
AXA Sun Life AXA Sun Life was created following the merger between AXA Equity & Law and Sun Life Assurance Society PLC. In 2006 Winterthur Life in the UK was absorbed although AXA continue to use the Winterthur brand for high net worth wealth management business. In January 2007 AXA Sun Life was reorganised into "strategic business units" (SBU's) aimed at competing within their specific markets.[3]
The business units are:[4]
- Wealth Management - AXA + Winterthur's Bonds + Individual Pensions
- Corporate Business - AXA + Winterthur's Group Pensions. AXA intend to create a "Market Leading" group pension proposition using Winterthur's 'Embassy' IT platform.
- Protection - This SBU will aim to market AXA's Protection Account as AXA continues to build on its presence in this area with the intention of becoming a leading protection provider.
- Traditional Business - Concentrating on policies which are still in force but no longer actively marketed.
- AXA Distribution Services - This business unit will soon unveil a wrap proposition
- Advisory Services - This SBU consists solely of Thinc Group at present. Originally it was intended that AXA's tied distribution arm would also report into this SBU until it was recently incorporated into Thinc Group.
AXA in the United States The United States arm of AXA is AXA Financial. AXA Financial consists of many subsidiaries; AXA Advisors, LLC, AXA Network, AXA Equitable Life Insurance, Mutual of New York (MONY) (famous for the song "Mony Mony" that the logo on its building inspired), US Financial Life, and AllianceBernstein.
