Groupe Mutuel, Association d'assureurs
Groupe Mutuel, Association d’assureurs, brings together a number of independent institutions operating in the field of healthcare and accident insurance, occupational benefits and life insurance. Created in 1993, Groupe Mutuel has roots dating well back in time because it took over the Sociétés de Secours Mutuels (Mutual Support Societies), the first of which was set up in Saint-Maurice (VS), in 1852.
Groupe Mutuel places its administrative infrastructure and employees at the disposal of its different companies which are legally independent and possess their own respective corporate management bodies. This pooling of resources permits useful synergies from which all of the partner companies benefit. In this way, Groupe Mutuel performs its mission of defending interests and managing the 4 affiliated healthcare plans and other companies, i.e.

• two private insurers in the healthcare field, Groupe Mutuel Assurances GMA SA and Mutuel Assurances SA;
• Groupe Mutuel Vie GMV SA.

Last but not least, Groupe Mutuel is responsible for the administration of two occupational benefits foundations, Groupe Mutuel Prévoyance GMP and Mutuelle Valaisanne de Prévoyance.
