AXA/Equitable is Who We Thought They Were

June 21, 2022

Following a close defeat to the favored Chicago Bears in 2006, then Arizona Cardinals head coach Dennis Green famously said of his opponent: “They are what we thought they were.”

After interviewing a former vice president of business development for the financial firm AXA/Equitable, the late football coach's lament perfectly captures our opinion of this financial firm. They are exactly who we thought (and feared) they were. They will change only when forced to change. Below are key topics covered in our two-part interview with Mike Burke (part 1; part 2).
