American International Group (AIG) is set to establish a new syndicate at specialist insurance marketplace Lloyd’s of London to target wealth people in America.
The new entity, Syndicate 2019, is set to start functioning from 1 January next year. It is expected to underwrite up to $1bn in gross written premiums.
Talbot Underwriting, which AIG acquired up last year, has been tasked to manage the new syndicate that will indemnify risks in the high-net-worth (HNW) segment in the US.
Currently, AIG Private Client Group (PCG) serves the ultra HNW segment in the US.
Upon the launch of Syndicate 2019, AIG PCG’s clients will be able to access additional offerings and holistic risk management solutions.
AIG CEO Peter Zaffino said: “AIG’s industry-recognized Private Client Group and its differentiated distribution network are highly compatible with Lloyd’s blueprint for innovation and sustained growth.
