    American Financial deploys $1.5B into fixed income near 6% yield

    Question

    American Financial deploys $1.5B into fixed income near 6% yield

    Direct answer

    American Financial Group posted a 48% year-over-year rise in core operating earnings per share, driven by stable underwriting and higher reinvestment rates on cash flow. The insurer allocated $1.5 billion into fixed-income instruments earning yields near 6% during the third quarter. Commercial specialty underwriting conditions remained firm, marking 41 consecutive quarters of aggregate price increases. Sustained higher benchmark interest rates continue to provide an asset-side tailwind for property and casualty investment yields.
