About the company
AXA Mansard was incorporated on 23 June 1989 as a private limited liability company called “Heritage Assurance Limited” and was issued a composite insurance license by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) in March 2004.
The company’s name was changed to Guaranty Trust Assurance Limited in September 2004, following the acquisition of a majority shareholding by Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, and changed again to Guaranty Trust Assurance Plc in March 2006.
AXA Mansard functions as a multi-expert asset management company within the AXA Mansard Group, a leader in financial protection and wealth management. The company is duly registered by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Nigeria (SEC) as Fund/Portfolio Managers.
In November 2009, the company was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Guaranty Trust Bank divested from the firm in 2012, following CBN guidelines for banks to either divest from non-banking subsidiaries or form holding companies. Mansard was then bought by Assur Africa Holdings.
