American International Group Inc (AIG)’s New Growth Opportunties

Variable annuities pose a greater risk to insurers, so since 2010, American International Group Inc (NYSE:AIG) has increased some of its risk-control features within its annuities products, such as VIX Index fees and required minimum allocations to fixed assets, in order to offset some of the losses that its competitors have experienced. A new report from the Congressional Budget Office essentially stated that by offering new products that more closely meet investors’ needs, insurers could increase the market share of annuities in the investing environment. AIG seems perfectly poised to take advantage of such a recommendation, while other insurers will be required to rebuild or catch up with their own annuities businesses.

Growing up so fast
Though it’s been five years since its near-collapse, American International Group Inc (NYSE:AIG) has been taking calculated steps to rebuild itself as the largest insurer in the world. And with the growth reported over the past few quarters, the insurance behemoth has certainly been delivering. By diving a bit deeper into the driving factors behind AIG’s growth, investors can see that there are sustained opportunities for the company to capitalize on in the quarters ahead.
