From the latest earnings call
- Carl Lindner III said renewal rates rose across AFG’s property and casualty group, while the company was largely through its reset of businesses exposed to social inflation.
- Craig Lindner said higher alternative investment returns lifted investment income and that AFG expected excess capital to support options including acquisitions, special dividends or repurchases.
