The American insurance organization American International Group (AIG) has multiplied by 60 (5,091%) its net profit attributable to its common shareholders in the first quarter of the year, going from 23 million dollars (21.5 million euros) to 1,194 million dollars (1,115 million euros), according to the results of the entity published this Thursday
The firm explained that the increase was primarily driven by net realized gains in Fortitude Re funds with retained embedded derivatives, compared to net realized losses in the prior-year quarter.
"AIG entered 2024 with very strong momentum in realizing our strategic and operational progress, while achieving exceptional financial results, reflecting the fundamental capabilities we have cultivated over the past few years. In addition to exceptional profitability, this quarter was marked by the significant capital management actions we completed, placing AIG in a position of strength prior to the deconsolidation of Corebridge Financial from AIG," said AIG Chairman and CEO Peter Zaffino.
