AIG's mergers and acquisitions division has launched a website designed as a resource for insurance brokers advising clients on transaction-based risks.

It said the site, AIGMergerRisks.com, contained deal summaries, information on transactional insurance trends and techniques as well as articles and commentary from third-party sources.

AIG mergers and acquisitions division president John A Rudolf said: "The interest in, and use of, transactional insurance products has grown steadily over the last few years.

"As more M&A professionals and the clients they serve come to appreciate the opportunities presented by these products, transactional insurance will become an increasingly common feature of the business landscape."
