Today, through the operations of Great American Insurance Group, AFG is engaged in property and casualty (P&C) insurance, focusing on specialized commercial products for businesses, and in the sale of traditional fixed and fixed-indexed annuities. We are proud to provide insurance products that help businesses manage their unique financial risks and exposures and annuity products that help individuals protect their financial futures.
AFG’s Specialty P&C Group is comprised of over 30 diversified businesses offering a wide range of specialty commercial coverages in three major groupings: Property and Transportation, Specialty Casualty and Specialty Financial. Our Annuity operations are focused on sales of traditional fixed, fixed-indexed and variable-indexed annuities in the retail, financial institutions, broker-dealer and registered investment advisor markets. Our Annuity Group enjoys a long history in the industry, with long-term, strong agent relationships and a reputation for simple, consumer-friendly products.
A diversified business model with P&C and annuity operations has worked well for us; many of our businesses are among the top performers in their respective industries.
