AIG Private Client Group, a division of the property and casualty insurance subsidiaries of American International Group, announced the creation of a Department of Loss Prevention to minimize high net worth policyholders’ exposure to preventable losses such as water damage and fire events.
Stephen Poux, who has been with AIG Private Client Group since 2000 and has over 15 years of industry experience serving high net worth customers, has been appointed Director of Loss Prevention. In conjunction with claims and risk management colleagues, he will “analyze past claims, identify loss trends and develop tactics to eliminate or lessen the impact of future losses for high net worth individuals,” said the bulletin. In addition Poux and a team of 17 in-house Risk Management Specialists will seek out and test the latest loss prevention technologies on behalf of clients nationwide.
“We take loss prevention seriously, particularly when we are insuring a high net worth client’s most valuable assets,” Poux commented, at AIG Private Client Group’s recent risk management conference in Austin, Tex. “As such, the Department of Loss Prevention will provide a value-added service with resources dedicated to researching the latest loss-prevention techniques on behalf of our brokers and their most important clients.”
“We are committed to reducing the cost of risk for our clients,” added Ross Buchmueller, President, AIG Private Client Group. “A proper risk management program must consider more than coverage alone. By carefully studying the full spectrum of our clients’ experiences and needs, we are better equipped to protect them.”

Its innovative products are underwritten by member companies of American International Group, Inc., and are designed to enhance protection of, and minimize threats to, personal wealth and safety.
