Trade American International Group with LHFX

American International Group (AIG) is a global insurance company with operations in roughly 70 countries and territories. The modern company is the survivor of the 2008 federal bailout (the United States Treasury and Federal Reserve combined committed up to $182 billion of support; Treasury exited its remaining stake in 2012 at a profit). Since 2018, AIG has been simplifying the firm and divesting non-core businesses. CEO Peter Zaffino has run AIG since 2021. The business has been narrowed to two main segments. General Insurance is the core property and casualty franchise, covering commercial lines (financial lines, casualty, property, specialty) and personal insurance, with around $25 billion of annual gross premiums written. Life and Retirement, branded as Corebridge Financial, was IPO'd as a separate listed company in 2022 (NYSE: CRBG); AIG has progressively reduced its ownership stake through secondary offerings, and the residual stake is still on the balance sheet but no longer fully consolidated. Property and casualty insurance is a cyclical business. Premium rates fluctuate based on combined-ratio profitability across the industry. Catastrophe losses (hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes) directly hit underwriting results. Investment-portfolio yields, which generate the bulk of operating income, depend on the level of interest rates. At LHFX you trade AIG as a CFD on the share price, not by owning the stock.

Hurricane-season news, earnings, and Corebridge secondary sales can produce 3 to 6% gaps. At 1:20 leverage, a 5% adverse move on a fully sized position wipes out your margin. Set a stop loss before entry. AIG gaps on catastrophe-loss disclosures (sometimes mid-quarter, ahead of earnings), surprise reinsurance-cost spikes, and Corebridge offering announcements. A leveraged position without a stop is exposed to forced liquidation. Follow the hurricane season closely if you are holding leveraged AIG positions between June and November. National Hurricane Center advisories on Gulf and East Coast tracks move the stock intraday during active storm threats. Worked example. On a $1,000 account with AIG trading at $75, opening 0.27 lots of AIG CFD (27 shares notional) is $2,025 of notional. At 1:20 leverage, that requires $101 of margin. A 5% adverse AIG move on that position costs $101, or roughly 10% of your account. A 5% favourable move makes $101. Round-trip commission is $6.
