History
In 1990, AGF was 72% state owned by the French government.[2] Thus, AGF was among those companies owned in large part by the government in 1993 when passage of a French "denationalization law" took place.[3] AGF was privatized as part of the law's implementation in 1996,[4]:137 though the French government retained a 57% ownership stake.[3] This level of ownership is consistent with the company remaining a part of French economic infrastructure in a crossed share holding set of relationships with Société Générale and Alcatel-Alsthom.[5] A second such "pole" at the time (1996) consisted of Banque Nationale de Paris, Union des Assurances De Paris and SUEZ.[5]
The year after privatization, in 1997, AGF was purchased by Allianz of Germany,[4]:137 part of a period of acquisitions for Allianz from 1992 to 1999 during which it purchased 11 companies.[4]:115
As of 2007[update], AGF was traded on the Euronext stock exchange under the symbol "AGF" and represented in the United States under the symbol "ASGFF".[1]
