As of December 31st 2005, CIGNA Corporation had shareholders' equity of $5.4 billion and revenues totaled $16.7billion.

CIGNA in its current format was established in 1982 as the result of a merger between the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CG) established since 1865 in Hartford and the Insurance Company of North America (INA), founded in Philadelphia in 1792. The City of Philadelphia remains the CIGNA corporate home with the CIGNA twin towers a prominent city landmark.

The formation of CIGNA Corporation created a marriage between a leading property-casualty insurer with a major supplier of life insurance and associated employee benefits. Since its creation CIGNA has maintained and developed its focus on employee benefits and the company has divested itself of fringe businesses such as individual life insurance, domestic and international property and casualty operations, and retirement and investment business

We maintain a global employee workforce of some 1,900 experienced professionals and a distribution force of some 2,800. For year-end 2005, revenues for CIGNA International were US$1.3 billion.
