AIG vs Alliance Risk: How Do They Compare for Commercial Property Insurance?

AIG markets commercial property insurance and identifies Retail Property as a product area. For domestic and global corporate and risk-management clients, the page describes both risk-transfer insurance and non-risk-transfer fronting or captive solutions; those structures are not the same as an insurance policy issued by AIG. ³Company-reported. AIG’s U.S. Commercial Property page. It does not identify the insurer or fronting company for a particular buyer’s placement.

Alliance Risk places commercial property insurance for businesses that own or lease buildings, equipment or inventory, describing its role as market access, risk assessment and claims advocacy rather than underwriting the policy itself. ⁷Company-reported. Property Insurance page; Alliance Risk is a broker and does not issue the policy.
