Despite AIGs problems it is still the world’s largest insurance company..... true or not I heard that on the radio
It's still one of the largest insurance companies in the world, after several divestments in some Asian and European operations, it's just behind of Allianz SE (Munich, Germany) and AXA (Paris, France) but still ahead of Aviva plc (London, UK) and Zürich Financial (Zürich, Switzerland).
Due to the mix of life, casualty and property insurance, and annuity services, it may be difficult to determine precisely the largest company in the "insurance" space.
