American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) today announced that it has led the launch of a new reinsurance syndicate at Lloyd’s. Syndicate 2478 will commence underwriting from January 1, 2025, and will be a multi-year participant on AIG’s outwards reinsurance program.

The syndicate, which will be managed by Talbot Underwriting Limited at Lloyd’s, has approved stamp capacity of $715 million for the 2025 Year of Account. Syndicate 2478 will be supported by third-party capital from funds managed by Blackstone through Lloyd’s innovative London Bridge 2 PCC structure.

Blackstone will act as investment manager for syndicate assets. The premium written by the Syndicate will access risk from AIG’s highly diversified global property & casualty businesses.

“The launch of Syndicate 2478 is a significant endorsement of the quality of our property & casualty underwriting portfolio and demonstrates the strength of our strategic relationships with Blackstone and Lloyd’s – distinct advantages that set AIG apart,” said Charlie Fry, Executive Vice President, Reinsurance & Risk Capital Optimization, AIG. “AIG is one of the largest and most sophisticated buyers of reinsurance globally and this multi-year agreement with Blackstone highlights the attractiveness of our underwriting performance and expertise. It is also a tremendous opportunity to access the Lloyd’s platform for bespoke and innovative transactions.”

Evercore, Aon plc and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP acted as advisers for AIG.
