Most successful American insurance companies started off small in one of the 50 states, and then later branched out into other countries. AIG actually began in Shanghai, China, in 1919, by a young American entrepreneur, Cornelius Vander Starr – and then later, in 1939, with World War II looming, Starr would move his company to America (specifically, New York City, where its headquarters is today).
AIG started out as a general insurance company in Shanghai, but it quickly expanded into selling products like life insurance. Today, AIG is located in over 130 countries and is ranked as the number one commercial insurer in the United States and Canada. In addition, AIG companies are leading providers of retirement services, financial services and asset management around the world.

AIG Insurance has a program called AIG Premier Client Solutions, which specializes in resolving claims quickly and successfully. You get your own personal point of contact who you’ll work with until your claim is resolved, which may help to explain their four-star InsureScore in claims.
