AIG Moves To Raise Connecticut Personal Umbrella Rates

AIG filed revised base rates for its Private Client Group Personal Excess Liability program in Connecticut, proposing an overall rate increase of 9.9%.

According to the filing submitted to the Connecticut Insurance Department, the rate change would apply to 2,489 policyholders and approximately $6.7 million in written premium. The proposed changes are scheduled to take effect June 1, 2026 for both new and renewal business.

The filing reflects an indicated rate need of 11.2%, based on AIG’s actuarial analysis of ten years of experience, including loss development, premium trends, and large loss adjustments. The insurer selected a slightly lower 9.9% rate impact after applying credibility adjustments and external trend comparisons. This will translate to $658,148 in additional premium.

The proposed revisions increase base premiums across several exposure categories within the personal umbrella program. For auto exposures, the base premium would rise from $445 to $497, while the charge for youthful drivers age 21 and under would increase from $155 to $173. Charges tied to recreational motor vehicles and collector vehicles would also increase.

Home related exposures would see similar adjustments. The base home premium would rise from $115 to $128, while additional residence charges would increase from $16 to $18, swimming pool charges from $18 to $20, and rental unit charges from $35 to $39.

AIG’s actuarial analysis relied on ten years of written premium, exposure, and loss data, with losses capped at $5 million per claim and developed using the chain ladder method.

Most policyholders are expected to see increases in the 5% to 10% range, with 92% of policies falling into that band, while about 2% of policies would see no change.
