2013 Annual Report

95 Years

In 1919, American entrepreneur Cornelius Vander Starr established a general insurance agency, American Asiatic Underwriters, in a two-room office in Shanghai, China. Ninety-five years later, AIG – which traces its roots to that small Shanghai operation – is a global insurer, with approximately 64,000 employees serving customers worldwide. Today, AIG continues to focus on what it has been known for throughout the years: the ability to provide products and services to meet the diverse needs of its customers.
