AIG Steps Back from NPW Growth Target on Pressure in Some Lines

AIG revised its net-premium growth target, abandoning low- to mid-teen percentage growth due to market pressures. CEO Eric Andersen emphasized underwriting discipline. Q3 underwriting income for General Insurance fell 29%. AIG grew net premiums 11% in 9 months but reduced property and casualty exposure in North America. Losses rose in reps and warranties and energy. AI-related infrastructure, like data centers, is a growth area.
