AIG noted that the Ellipse’s group protection expertise, as well as its technology-enabled business model, is an ideal fit with the existing AIG Life operation in the UK.

After completion of the Ellipse deal, AIG Life will distribute both group and individual protection insurance products to consumers in the UK through financial intermediaries, employee benefits consultants and partnerships.

Commenting on the deal, AIG Life & Retirement CEO International Adam Winslow said: “I am delighted that we have completed the acquisition of Ellipse, and I look forward to working together with our new colleagues to build a stronger combined presence in the UK individual and group risk protection markets.”

Ellipse, which was rolled out in 2009, managed approximately £64m of in-force premiums and nearly 4,500 in-force policies covering over 370,000 lives as of May 2018.
