M&A Insurance - The new normal?

This year's analysis of AIG's representations and warranties insurance (R&W) claims demonstrates that, while results will vary from year to year, claims are likely to be a constant feature of the R&W business. Now in its third year, the claims insights in this report are becoming even more meaningful as AIG's book of business continues to grow. And for the first time, this year we take a look at breach types by industry – with some surprising results.

M&A Insurance – The new normal?, AIG’s 2018 global representations and warranties claims study, provides interesting insights to buyers, sellers, and M&A advisors. Based on the review of AIG claims data between 2011 and 2016, the report explores the following:

• What further trends are we seeing in the development of representations and warranties insurance?
• How can the data help clients perform better due diligence?
• Do different industries experience different breaches? And are they what we would expect?

AIG has been assisting buyers and sellers close over 3,000 deals globally since the late 1990s. The number of deals and the breadth of the portfolio, spanning across geographies, industries, and sectors, uniquely places AIG to share insights into mergers and acquisitions based on observations about the claims made on those policies.
