Life insurance not part of insurer loss

Fri, 09 May 2008

Major global insurance company, who offer life insurance policies in many countries, AIG, have reported a severe loss.

AIG are the largest insurer in the world by assets, and the losses are thought to relate to exposure to the US residential housing and credit markets.

The president and chief executive of AIG, Martin Sullivan, reportedly commented: "While we anticipated a difficult trading environment, the severity of the unrealised valuation losses and decline in value of our investments were beyond our expectations."

However, despite the losses, core insurance remained stable, with life insurance almost unchanged from last year.
