AXA XL targets Canadian middle market with new insurance offering

AXA XL is expanding insurance offerings in Canada with the official launch of its Canada Middle Market business.

The announcement follows AXA XL’s appointment in September 2024 of Arti Rawal as Chief Underwriting Officer – Middle Market, Canada. Rawal is charged with building the Middle Market team and developing products to support the business expansion in Canada.

AXA XL will be offering multiline coverages for middle market clients in Canada, which include property, general liability, umbrella and commercial auto. AXA XL will initially work with a limited number of brokers in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario with plans to expand to additional broker partners in the future.

“We’re excited to start working with new clients and brokers, because we know that they have a lot to gain from the multiline insurance coverage provided by our experienced underwriters and backed by AXA XL’s financial strength, suite of products and risk management capabilities.” – Arti Rawal.

“Risk is growing more complex for all size businesses. By tailoring our insurance products and services to the middle market, we can help clients that might otherwise not have the resources to better face into risk.” – James Lee, Chief Agent and Head of Client & Distribution.
