The year-over-year decrease was primarily a result of a change in unrealized losses related to AIG’s ownership interest in Corebridge Financial, Inc. (Corebridge) and a gain from the divestiture of the global personal travel business in the prior year, partially offset by higher underwriting income and net investment income in General Insurance and tax benefit as a result of a one-time release of deferred income tax valuation allowance.
AATI was USD 1.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to USD 817 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting higher underwriting income and higher net investment income in General Insurance.
Total net investment income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was USD 872 million, down 34% from USD 1.3 billion in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower gains on the change in fair value and lower gains on sale of shares from AIG’s interest in Corebridge and lower income on alternative investments, partially offset by higher income from fixed maturity securities. Total net investment income on an APTI basis, which excludes the change in fair value of AIG’s interest in Corebridge, was USD 954 million, an increase of 9% from USD 872 million in the prior year quarter. Net investment income attributed to General Insurance was up 13% from the prior year quarter.
For the full year 2025, net income attributable to AIG common shareholders was USD 3.1 billion compared to net loss of USD 1.4 billion in the prior year. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the absence of loss as a result of the deconsolidation of Corebridge in June 2024 and higher underwriting income and net investment income in General Insurance, partially offset by net realized losses excluding Fortitude Re funds withheld assets, largely due to impairments on investments in real estate.
AATI was USD 4.0 billion for the full year 2025, compared to USD 3.3 billion in the prior year, reflecting higher underwriting income and net investment income in General Insurance.
Total net investment income for the full year 2025 was USD 4.2 billion, down 1% from USD 4.3 billion in the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in other investments, which includes lower gains on the change in fair value and lower gains on sale of shares of and dividends from Corebridge, partially offset by higher income from fixed maturity securities. Total net investment income on an APTI basis, which excludes the change in fair value of AIG’s interest in Corebridge, was USD 3.8 billion, an increase of 8% from USD 3.5 billion in the prior year. Net investment income attributed to General Insurance was up 12% from the prior year, driven by higher income from available for sale fixed maturity securities and alternative investments, partially offset by lower income on other investments.
