Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Accounting Policies | Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Financial Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“AFG”). Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years to conform to the current year’s presentation, including reclassifying the earnings of the Annuity subsidiaries sold in May 2021 to net earnings from discontinued operations. See Note B — “Discontinued Operations.” All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations of companies since their formation or acquisition are included in the consolidated financial statements. Events or transactions occurring subsequent to December 31, 2022, and prior to the filing of this Form 10-K, have been evaluated for potential recognition or disclosure herein. Unless otherwise stated, the information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements relates to AFG’s continuing operations. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Changes in circumstances could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimates. Discontinued Operations Disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift and that have a major effect on a reporting entity’s operations and financial results are reported as discontinued operations. Fair Value Measurements Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standards establish a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (“inputs”) are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect AFG’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Other than the purchase price allocation for its acquisition in 2021 ( see Note C — “Acquisitions and Sale of Businesses”) , AFG did not have any material nonrecurring fair value measurements in 2022 or 2021. Credit Losses on Financial Instruments On January 1, 2020, AFG adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which provides a new loss model for determining credit-related impairments for financial instruments measured at amortized cost (mortgage loans, premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverables) and requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure or pool of exposures. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical information, current information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Expected credit losses, and subsequent increases or decreases in such expected losses, are recorded immediately through net earnings as an allowance that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, with the net carrying value of the financial asset presented on the balance sheet at the amount expected to be collected. At the date of adoption, the impact of adjusting AFG’s existing allowances for uncollectable mortgage loans, premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverables to the allowances calculated under the new guidance resulted in a reduction in the net allowance, which was recorded as the cumulative effect of an accounting change ($7 million increase in retained earnings at January 1, 2020). The updated guidance also amended the other-than-temporary impairment model for available for sale debt securities by requiring the recognition of impairments relating to credit losses through an allowance and limits the amount of credit loss to the difference between a security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. Subsequent increases or decreases in expected credit losses are recorded immediately in net earnings through realized gains (losses). Investments Equity securities other than those accounted for under the equity method are reported at fair value with holding gains and losses generally recorded in realized gains (losses) on securities. However, AFG records holding gains and losses on limited partnerships and similar investments that do not qualify for equity method accounting (and are therefore carried at fair value), and certain other securities classified at purchase as “fair value through net investment income” in net investment income. Fixed maturity securities classified as “available for sale” are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in AFG’s Balance Sheet. Fixed maturity securities classified as “trading” are reported at fair value with changes in unrealized holding gains or losses during the period included in net investment income. Mortgage loans (net of any allowance) are carried primarily at the aggregate unpaid balance. Premiums and discounts on fixed maturity securities are amortized using the effective interest method. Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are amortized over a period based on estimated future principal payments, including prepayments. Prepayment assumptions are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect actual prepayments and changes in expectations. Limited partnerships and similar investments are generally accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, AFG records its share of the earnings or losses of the investee based on when it is reported by the investee in its financial statements rather than in the period in which the investee declares a dividend. AFG’s share of the earnings or losses from equity method investments is generally recorded on a quarter lag due to the timing of the receipt of the investee’s financial statements. AFG’s equity in the earnings (losses) of limited partnerships and similar investments is included in net investment income. Realized gains or losses on the disposal of fixed maturity securities are determined on the specific identification basis. When a decline in the value of an available for sale fixed maturity is considered to be other-than-temporary at the balance sheet date, an allowance for credit losses (impairment), including any write-off of accrued interest, is charged to earnings (included in realized gains (losses) on securities). If management can assert that it does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that it will have to sell it before recovery of its amortized cost basis (net of allowance), then the impairment is separated into two components: (i) the allowance related to credit losses (recorded in earnings) and (ii) the amount related to all other factors (recorded in other comprehensive income). The credit-related portion is measured by comparing a security’s amortized cost to the present value of its current expected cash flows discounted at its effective yield prior to the charge. If management intends to sell an impaired security, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, an impairment is recorded in earnings to reduce the amortized cost (net of allowance) of that security to fair value. See “Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” above for a discussion of new guidance adopted on January 1, 2020. Derivatives Derivatives included in AFG’s Balance Sheet are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivatives are included in earnings unless the derivatives are designated and qualify as highly effective cash flow hedges. AFG’s derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP consist primarily of components of certain fixed maturity securities (primarily interest-only and principal-only MBS) and a total return swap related to its deferred compensation obligations to employees. To qualify for hedge accounting, at the inception of a derivative contract, AFG formally documents the relationship between the terms of the hedge and the hedged items and its risk management objective. This documentation includes defining how hedge effectiveness is evaluated at the inception date and over the life of the derivative. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as highly effective cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI and are reclassified into earnings when the variability of the cash flows from the hedged items impacts earnings. When the change in the fair value of a qualifying cash flow hedge is included in earnings, it is included in the same line item in the statement of earnings as the cash flows from the hedged item. AFG uses interest rate swaps that are designated and qualify as highly effective cash flow hedges to mitigate interest rate risk related to certain floating-rate securities. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of cost of subsidiaries over AFG’s equity in their underlying net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an impairment test at least annually. An entity is not required to complete the quantitative annual goodwill impairment test on a reporting unit if the entity elects to perform a qualitative analysis and determines that it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying amount. Reinsurance Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policies. AFG reports as assets (i) the estimated reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid losses, including an estimate for losses incurred but not reported, and (ii) amounts paid or due to reinsurers applicable to the unexpired terms of policies in force. Payable to reinsurers includes ceded premiums due to reinsurers, as well as ceded premiums retained by AFG under contracts to fund ceded losses as they become due. AFG also assumes reinsurance from other companies. Earnings on reinsurance assumed is recognized based on information received from ceding companies. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (“DPAC”) Policy acquisition costs (principally commissions, premium taxes and certain underwriting and policy issuance costs) directly related to the successful acquisition or renewal of an insurance contract are deferred. DPAC is limited based upon recoverability without any consideration for anticipated investment income and is charged against income ratably over the terms of the related policies. A premium deficiency is recognized if the sum of expected claims costs, claims adjustment expenses and unamortized acquisition costs exceed the related unearned premiums. A premium deficiency is first recognized by charging any unamortized acquisition costs to expense to the extent required to eliminate the deficiency. If the premium deficiency is greater than unamortized acquisition costs, a liability is accrued for the excess deficiency and reported with unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. Managed Investment Entities A company is considered the primary beneficiary of, and therefore must consolidate, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based primarily on its ability to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact that entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. AFG manages, and has investments in, collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) that are VIEs (see Note H — “Managed Investment Entities” ). AFG has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these CLOs because (i) its role as asset manager gives it the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the CLOs and (ii) through its investment in the CLO debt tranches, it has exposure to CLO losses (limited to the amount AFG invested) and the right to receive CLO benefits that could potentially be significant to the CLOs. Because AFG has no right to use the CLO assets and no obligation to pay the CLO liabilities, the assets and liabilities of the CLOs are shown separately in AFG’s Balance Sheet. AFG has elected the fair value option for reporting on the CLO assets and liabilities to improve the transparency of financial reporting related to the CLOs. The net gain or loss from accounting for the CLO assets and liabilities at fair value is presented separately in AFG’s Statement of Earnings. The fair values of a CLO’s assets may differ from the separately measured fair values of its liabilities even though the CLO liabilities only have recourse to the CLO assets. AFG has set the carrying value of the CLO liabilities equal to the fair value of the CLO assets (which have more observable fair values) as an alternative to reporting those liabilities at a separately measured fair value. CLO earnings attributable to AFG’s shareholders are measured by the change in the fair value of AFG’s investments in the CLOs and management fees earned. At December 31, 2022, assets and liabilities of managed investment entities included $105 million in assets and $102 million in liabilities of temporary warehousing entities that were established to provide AFG the ability to form new CLOs when management believes market conditions are favorable. At closing, all warehoused assets will be transferred to the new CLOs and the liabilities will be repaid. Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses The net liabilities stated for unpaid claims and for expenses of investigation and adjustment of unpaid claims represent management’s best estimate and are based upon (i) the accumulation of case estimates for losses reported prior to the close of the accounting period on direct business written; (ii) estimates received from ceding reinsurers and insurance pools and associations; (iii) estimates of unreported losses (including possible development on known claims) based on past experience; (iv) estimates based on experience of expenses for investigating and adjusting claims; and (v) the current state of the law and coverage litigation. Establishing reserves for asbestos, environmental and other mass tort claims involves considerably more judgment than other types of claims due to, among other things, inconsistent court decisions, an increase in bankruptcy filings as a result of asbestos- related liabilities, novel theories of coverage, and judicial interpretations that often expand theories of recovery and broaden the scope of coverage. Loss reserve liabilities are subject to the impact of changes in claim amounts and frequency and other factors. Changes in estimates of the liabilities for losses and loss adjustment expenses are reflected in the statement of earnings in the period in which determined. Despite the variability inherent in such estimates, management believes that the liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are adequate and reasonable. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs related to AFG’s outstanding debt are presented in its Balance Sheet as a direct reduction in the carrying value of long-term debt and are amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method as a component of interest expense. Debt issuance costs related to AFG’s revolving credit facilities are included in other assets in AFG’s Balance Sheet. Leases Leases for terms of longer than one year are recognized as assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases on the balance sheet based on the present value of contractual cash flows. Premium Recognition Property and casualty premiums are earned generally over the terms of the policies on a pro rata basis. Unearned premiums represent that portion of premiums written, which is applicable to the unexpired terms of policies in force. On reinsurance assumed from other insurance companies or written through various underwriting organizations, unearned premiums are based on information received from such companies and organizations. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is established to reduce total deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recorded in net earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. AFG recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained under examination by the appropriate taxing authority. Interest and penalties on AFG’s reserve for uncertain tax positions are recognized as a component of tax expense. Stock-Based Compensation All share-based grants are recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over their vesting periods based on their calculated fair value at the date of grant. AFG records excess tax benefits or deficiencies for share-based payments through income tax expense in the statement of earnings. In addition, AFG accounts for forfeitures of awards when they occur. Benefit Plans AFG provides retirement benefits to qualified employees of participating companies through the AFG 401(k) Retirement and Savings Plan, a defined contribution plan. AFG makes all contributions to the retirement fund portion of the plan and matches a percentage of employee contributions to the savings fund. Company contributions are expensed in the year for which they are declared. AFG and many of its subsidiaries provide health care and life insurance benefits to eligible retirees. AFG also provides postemployment benefits to former or inactive employees (primarily those on disability) who were not deemed retired under other company plans. The projected future cost of providing these benefits is expensed over the period employees earn such benefits. Earnings Per Share Although basic earnings per share only considers shares of common stock outstanding during the period, the calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the following adjustments to weighted average common shares related to stock-based compensation plans: 2022 – 0.2 million, 2021 – 0.5 million and 2020 – 0.5 million. There were no anti-dilutive potential common shares related to stock compensation plans or adjustments to net earnings attributable to shareholders in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 or 2020. Statement of Cash Flows For cash flow purposes, “investing activities” are defined as making and collecting loans and acquiring and disposing of debt or equity instruments, property and equipment and businesses. “Financing activities” include obtaining resources from owners and providing them with a return on their investments, borrowing money and repaying amounts borrowed. All other activities are considered “operating.” Short-term investments having original |

Acquisitions and Sale of Businesses | Acquisitions and Sale of Businesses Verikai In December 2021, AFG acquired Verikai, Inc., a machine learning and artificial intelligence company that utilizes a predictive risk tool to assess insurance risk, for $120 million using cash on hand at the parent. Verikai continues to operate as a stand-alone company to service its insurance clients. AFG expects to benefit from Verikai’s predictive risk tool as it enters the medical stop loss insurance business, with a primary focus on small and underserved risks. AFG may pay up to $50 million in contingent consideration based on performance measures over a multiple year period. Expenses related to the acquisition were approximately $1 million and were expensed as incurred. The purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of Verikai based on management’s best estimate of fair value as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation is shown below (in millions). December 6, 2021 Purchase price: Cash $ 120 Fair value of contingent consideration 23 Total purchase price 143 Tangible assets acquired 16 Liabilities acquired 3 Net tangible assets acquired, at fair value 13 Excess purchase price over net tangible assets acquired $ 130 Allocation of excess purchase price: Intangible assets acquired (*) $ 76 Deferred tax on intangible assets acquired (*) (16) Goodwill 70 $ 130 (*) Included in Other assets in AFG’s Balance Sheet. In the purchase price allocation, $76 million of the purchase price was recognized as finite lived intangible assets related to acquired technology and customer relationships, which will be amortized over an average estimated life of approximately 10 years. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of $70 million in goodwill based on the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The goodwill represents the fair value of acquired intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, including the value of Verikai’s future technology and opportunities and assembled workforce. In the third quarter of 2022, AFG acquired an insurance agency business for $12 million, including $10 million in cash. Virtually all of the purchase price was recorded as an amortizing intangible asset representing the fair value of the agency’s customer base at acquisition. Annuity Operations See Note B — “Discontinued Operations,” for information on the sale of AFG’s annuity operations. Neon In December 2019, AFG initiated actions to exit the Lloyd’s of London insurance market, which included placing Neon Underwriting Ltd. and its other Lloyd’s subsidiaries in run-off. Neon and its predecessor, Marketform, failed to achieve AFG’s profitability objectives since AFG’s purchase of Marketform in 2008. On June 30, 2020, AFG acquired 100% of the indirect noncontrolling interest in Neon from certain former and current Neon executives for cash based on the nominal fair value of the interest acquired as determined by a third-party valuation firm. On December 31, 2020, AFG completed the sale of GAI Holding Bermuda and its subsidiaries, comprising the legal entities that own Neon, to RiverStone Holdings Limited for proceeds of $6 million. The sale completed AFG’s exit from the Lloyd’s of London insurance market. On the sale date, the carrying value of the assets and liabilities disposed represented approximately 1% of both AFG’s assets and liabilities and are detailed in the table below. Under GAAP accounting guidance, only disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift and that have a major effect on a reporting entity’s operations and financial results are reported as discontinued operations. Because AFG’s primary business continues to be commercial property and casualty insurance, as well as the immaterial expected impact on AFG’s ongoing results of operations, the sale of Neon was not reported as a discontinued operation. The gain on the sale of Neon, which was recorded in AFG’s financial statements as of December 31, 2020, is shown below (in millions): Sale proceeds, net of expenses $ 3 Assets of businesses sold: Cash and investments $ 453 Recoverables from reinsurers 224 Prepaid reinsurance premiums 8 Agents’ balances and premiums receivable 42 Other assets 60 Total assets 787 Liabilities of businesses sold: Unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses 640 Unearned premiums 49 Payable to reinsurers 19 Other liabilities 92 Total liabilities 800 Reclassify accumulated other comprehensive income (7) Net liabilities of businesses sold $ (20) Pretax gain on subsidiaries recorded in 2020 $ 23 In the second quarter of 2021, AFG received an additional $10 million of cash proceeds and recognized a pretax gain of $4 million related to contingent consideration received on the sale of Neon. Revenues, costs and expenses, and earnings before income taxes for the subsidiaries sold were (in millions): Year ended December 31, 2020 Net earned premiums $ 200 Loss and loss adjustment expenses 218 Commissions and other underwriting expenses 117 Underwriting loss (135) Net investment loss (5) Other income and expenses, net (5) Loss before income taxes and noncontrolling interests $ (145) The impact of Neon exited lines on AFG’s net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2020 is shown below (in millions): Underwriting loss $ (135) Net investment income (loss) (5) Other income and expenses, net (5) Loss before income taxes and noncontrolling interests (145) Pretax gain on sale of subsidiaries 23 Total pretax loss from Neon exited lines (122) Tax benefit related to sale of subsidiaries 72 Less: Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests (11) Net loss from Neon exited lines attributable to shareholders $ (39) As discussed in Note M — “Income Taxes,” the sale of Neon allowed AFG to recognize a $72 million tax benefit. Paratransit Book of Business In 2019, National Interstate, a property and casualty insurance subsidiary of AFG, entered into an agreement with Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc. (“AFH”) to become the exclusive underwriter of AFH’s paratransit book of business. In November 2021, National Interstate acquired the renewal rights for fleets with seven or fewer vehicles from AFH for approximately $3 million and in November 2020, acquired the renewal rights for fleets with eight or more vehicles from AFH for approximately $3 million. The purchase price was recognized as an intangible renewal rights asset and is being amortized over the estimated life of the business acquired. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segments of Operations | Segments of Operations Subsequent to the sale of its annuity operations, see Note B — Discontinued Operations,” AFG manages its business as two segments: Property and casualty insurance and Other, which includes holding company assets and costs, and operations attributable to the noncontrolling interests of the managed investment entities. AFG reports its property and casualty insurance business in the following Specialty sub-segments: (i) Property and transportation, which includes physical damage and liability coverage for buses and trucks and other specialty transportation niches, inland and ocean marine, agricultural-related products and other commercial property coverages, (ii) Specialty casualty, which includes primarily excess and surplus, executive and professional liability, general liability, umbrella and excess liability, specialty coverages in targeted markets, customized programs for small to mid-sized businesses and workers’ compensation insurance, and (iii) Specialty financial, which includes risk management insurance programs for lending and leasing institutions (including equipment leasing and collateral and lender-placed mortgage property insurance), fidelity and surety products and trade credit insurance. Premiums and underwriting profit included under Other specialty represent business assumed by AFG’s internal reinsurance program from the operations that make up AFG’s other Specialty sub-segments and amortization of deferred gains on retroactive reinsurance transactions related to the sales of businesses in prior years. AFG’s reportable segments and their components were determined based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, products and services. As discussed in Note C — “Acquisitions and Sale of Businesses,” AFG initiated actions to exit the Lloyd’s of London insurance market, which included placing its Lloyd’s subsidiaries including its Lloyd’s Managing Agency, Neon Underwriting Ltd., into run-off in December 2019. Beginning with the first quarter of 2020, the results for AFG’s Specialty casualty sub-segment exclude the run-off operations of Neon (“Neon exited lines”). AFG completed the sale of Neon in December 2020. Sales of property and casualty insurance outside of the United States represented 4% of AFG’s revenues in both 2022 and 2021 and 5% in 2020. The following tables (in millions) show AFG’s assets, revenues and earnings before income taxes by segment and sub-segment. 2022 2021 Assets Property and casualty insurance (*) $ 22,225 $ 21,312 Other 6,606 7,619 Total assets $ 28,831 $ 28,931 (*) Not allocable to sub-segments. 2022 2021 2020 Revenues Property and casualty insurance: Premiums earned: Specialty Property and transportation $ 2,487 $ 2,144 $ 1,871 Specialty casualty 2,659 2,408 2,235 Specialty financial 698 642 613 Other specialty 241 210 180 Other lines (a) — — 200 Total premiums earned 6,085 5,404 5,099 Net investment income (b) 683 663 399 Other income 12 27 8 Total property and casualty insurance 6,780 6,094 5,506 Other 376 293 266 Real estate-related entities (c) — 51 49 Total revenues before realized gains (losses) 7,156 6,438 5,821 Realized gains (losses) on securities (116) 110 (75) Realized gains on subsidiaries — 4 23 Total revenues $ 7,040 $ 6,552 $ 5,769 (a) Represents premiums earned in the Neon exited lines during 2020.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2022 | |
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Accounting standards for measuring fair value are based on inputs used in estimating fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (markets in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis). AFG’s Level 1 financial instruments consist primarily of publicly traded equity securities, highly liquid government bonds for which quoted market prices in active markets are available and short-term investments of managed investment entities. Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets (markets in which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly); and valuations based on other significant inputs that are observable in active markets. AFG’s Level 2 financial instruments include corporate and municipal fixed maturity securities, asset-backed securities (“ABS”), mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), certain non-affiliated common stocks and investments of managed investment entities priced using observable inputs. Level 2 inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, corroborated broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities. When non-binding broker quotes can be corroborated by comparison to similar securities priced using observable inputs, they are classified as Level 2. Level 3 — Valuations derived from market valuation techniques generally consistent with those used to estimate the fair values of Level 2 financial instruments in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable or when the market for a security exhibits significantly less liquidity relative to markets supporting Level 2 fair value measurements. The unobservable inputs may include management’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use based on the best information available at the valuation date. Financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on non-binding broker quotes or internally developed using significant inputs not based on, or corroborated by, observable market information are classified as Level 3. The contingent consideration liability (included in other liabilities in AFG’s Balance Sheet) relates primarily to AFG’s acquisition of Verikai in December 2021 as discussed in Note C — “Acquisitions and Sale of Businesses.” These liabilities are remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date with changes in fair value recognized in net earnings. To estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to the Verikai acquisition ($23 million at December 31, 2022), AFG uses a weighted probability-based income approach which includes significant unobservable inputs and is classified as Level 3. There was no change to the estimated fair value of this liability during 2022. As discussed in Note A — “Accounting Policies — Managed Investment Entities,” AFG has set the carrying value of its CLO liabilities equal to the fair value of the CLO assets (which have more observable fair values) as an alternative to reporting those liabilities at separately measured fair values. As a result, the CLO liabilities are categorized within the fair value hierarchy on the same basis (proportionally) as the related CLO assets. Since the portion of the CLO liabilities allocated to Level 3 is derived from the fair value of the CLO assets, these amounts are excluded from the progression of Level 3 financial instruments. AFG’s management is responsible for the valuation process and uses data from outside sources (including nationally recognized pricing services and broker/dealers) in establishing fair value. AFG’s internal investment professionals are a group of approximately 20 investment professionals whose primary responsibility is to manage AFG’s investment portfolio. These professionals monitor individual investments as well as overall industries and are active in the financial markets on a daily basis. The group is led by AFG’s chief investment officer, who reports directly to one of AFG’s Co-CEOs. Valuation techniques utilized by pricing services and prices obtained from external sources are reviewed by AFG’s internal investment professionals who are familiar with the securities being priced and the markets in which they trade to ensure the fair value determination is representative of an exit price. To validate the appropriateness of the prices obtained, these investment managers consider widely published indices (as benchmarks), recent trades, changes in interest rates, general economic conditions and the credit quality of the specific issuers. In addition, the Company communicates directly with the pricing services regarding the methods and assumptions used in pricing, including verifying, on a test basis, the inputs used by the service to value specific securities. Assets and liabilities measured and carried at fair value in the financial statements are summarized below (in millions): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total December 31, 2022 Assets: Available for sale (“AFS”) fixed maturities: U.S. Government and government agencies $ 219 $ — $ — $ 219 States, municipalities and political subdivisions — 1,181 5 1,186 Foreign government — 226 — 226 Residential MBS — 1,589 9 1,598 Commercial MBS — 85 — 85 Collateralized loan obligations — 1,919 2 1,921 Other asset-backed securities — 1,916 329 2,245 Corporate and other 8 2,288 319 2,615 Total AFS fixed maturities 227 9,204 664 10,095 Trading fixed maturities — 32 — 32 Equity securities 556 27 427 1,010 Assets of managed investment entities (“MIE”) 659 4,777 11 5,447 Total assets accounted for at fair value $ 1,442 $ 14,040 $ 1,102 $ 16,584 Liabilities: Contingent consideration — acquisitions $ — $ — $ 25 $ 25 Liabilities of managed investment entities 645 4,676 11 5,332 Other liabilities — derivatives — 42 — 42 Total liabilities accounted for at fair value $ 645 $ 4,718 $ 36 $ 5,399 December 31, 2021 Assets: Available for sale fixed maturities: U.S. Government and government agencies $ 215 $ 1 $ — $ 216 States, municipalities and political subdivisions — 1,791 41 1,832 Foreign government — 246 — 246 Residential MBS — 946 14 960 Commercial MBS — 104 — 104 Collateralized loan obligations — 1,643 — 1,643 Other asset-backed securities — 2,398 278 2,676 Corporate and other 11 2,402 267 2,680 Total AFS fixed maturities 226 9,531 600 10,357 Trading fixed maturities — 28 — 28 Equity securities 679 50 313 1,042 Assets of managed investment entities 390 4,893 13 5,296 Total assets accounted for at fair value $ 1,295 $ 14,502 $ 926 $ 16,723 Liabilities: Contingent consideration — acquisitions $ — $ — $ 23 $ 23 Liabilities of managed investment entities 384 4,823 13 5,220 Total liabilities accounted for at fair value $ 384 $ 4,823 $ 36 $ 5,243 Approximately 7% of the total assets carried at fair value at December 31, 2022, were Level 3 assets. Approximately 12% ($126 million) of those Level 3 assets were priced using non-binding broker quotes, for which there is a lack of transparency as to the inputs used to determine fair value. Details as to the quantitative inputs are neither provided by the brokers nor otherwise reasonably obtainable by AFG. Approximately 4% ($47 million) of the Level 3 assets were priced by pricing services where either a single price was not corroborated, prices varied enough among the providers, or other market factors led management to determine these securities be classified as Level 3 assets. Approximately 23% ($255 million) of the Level 3 assets were equity investments in limited partnerships and similar investments that do not qualify for equity method accounting whose prices were determined based on financial information provided by the limited partnerships. Internally developed fixed maturities are priced using a variety of inputs, including appropriate credit spreads over the treasury yield (of a similar duration), trade information and prices of comparable securities and other security specific features (such as optional early redemption). Internally developed Level 3 asset fair values represent approximately $674 million (61%) of the total fair value of Level 3 assets at December 31, 2022. Approximately 62% ($420 million) of these internally developed Level 3 assets are priced using a pricing model that uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of fixed maturity securities. The credit spread applied by management is the significant unobservable input of the pricing model. In instances where the security is currently callable at par value and the pricing model suggests a higher price, management caps the fair value at par value. Approximately 24% ($164 million) of the internally developed Level 3 assets are equity securities which are priced primarily using broker quotes and internal models with some inputs that are not market observable. Management believes that any justifiable changes in unobservable inputs used to determine internally developed fair values would not have resulted in a material change in AFG’s financial position. Changes in balances of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value during 2022, 2021 and 2020 are presented below (in millions). The transfers into and out of Level 3 were due to changes in the availability of market observable inputs. All transfers are reflected in the table at fair value as of the end of the reporting period.

The earnings (losses) from these investments are generally reported on a quarter lag due to the timing required to obtain the necessary information from the funds. AFG regularly reviews and discusses fund performance with the fund managers to corroborate the reasonableness of the underlying reported asset values and to assess whether any events have occurred within the lag period that may materially affect the valuation of these investments. With respect to partnerships and similar investments, AFG had unfunded commitments of $396 million and $366 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The following table shows gross unrealized losses (dollars in millions) on available for sale fixed maturities by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at the following balance sheet dates. Less Than Twelve Months Twelve Months or More Unrealized Fair Fair Value as Unrealized Fair Fair Value as December 31, 2022 Fixed maturities: U.S. Government and government agencies $ (4) $ 111 97 % $ (10) $ 107 91 % States, municipalities and political subdivisions (50) 967 95 % (1) 15 94 % Foreign government (5) 90 95 % (9) 134 94 % Residential MBS (115) 1,078 90 % (65) 315 83 % Commercial MBS (2) 44 96 % (1) 33 97 % Collateralized loan obligations (44) 1,224 97 % (23) 587 96 % Other asset-backed securities (100) 1,361 93 % (84) 740 90 % Corporate and other (105) 1,665 94 % (51) 413 89 % Total fixed maturities $ (425) $ 6,540 94 % $ (244) $ 2,344 91 % December 31, 2021 Fixed maturities: U.S. Government and government agencies $ (1) $ 92 99 % $ (1) $ 22 96 % States, municipalities and political subdivisions — 9 100 % — 13 100 % Foreign government (2) 160 99 % — — — % Residential MBS (3) 419 99 % — 7 100 % Commercial MBS — 34 100 % — — — % Collateralized loan obligations (1) 806 100 % (1) 77 99 % Other asset-backed securities (8) 1,250 99 % (3) 81 96 % Corporate and other (8) 500 98 % — 26 100 % Total fixed maturities $ (23) $ 3,270 99 % $ (5) $ 226 98 % At December 31, 2022, the gross unrealized losses on fixed maturities of $669 million relate to approximately 1,850 securities. Investment grade securities (as determined by nationally recognized rating agencies) represented approximately 95% of the gross unrealized loss and 95% of the fair value of securities with unrealized losses. To evaluate fixed maturities for expected credit losses (impairment), management considers whether the unrealized loss is credit-driven or a result of changes in market interest rates, the extent to which fair value is less than cost basis, historical operating, balance sheet and cash flow data from the issuer, third party research and communications with industry specialists and discussions with issuer management. AFG analyzes its MBS for expected credit losses (impairment) each quarter based upon expected future cash flows. Management estimates expected future cash flows based upon its knowledge of the MBS market, cash flow projections (which reflect loan to collateral values, subordination, vintage and geographic concentration) received from independent sources, implied cash flows inherent in security ratings and analysis of historical payment data. Management believes AFG will recover its cost basis (net of any allowance) in the securities with unrealized losses and that AFG has the ability to hold the securities until they recover in value and had no intent to sell them at December 31, 2022. Credit losses on available for sale fixed maturities are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows compared to amortized cost. Impairment losses are recognized through an allowance and recoveries of previously impaired amounts are recorded as an immediate reversal of all or a portion of the allowance. In addition, the allowance on available for sale fixed maturities cannot cause the amortized cost net of the allowance to be below fair value. Accordingly, future changes in the fair value of an impaired security (when the allowance was limited by the fair value) due to reasons other than issuer credit (e.g. changes in market interest rates) result in increases or decreases in the allowance, which are recorded through realized gains (losses) on securities. A progression of the allowance for expected credit losses on fixed maturity securities held by AFG’s continuing operations is shown below (in millions): Structured securities (*) Corporate and other Total Balance at January 1, 2020 $ — $ — $ — Impact of adoption of new accounting policy — — — Provision for expected credit losses on securities with no previous allowance 11 5 16 Reductions to previously recognized expected credit losses (1) (2) (3) Reductions due to sales or redemptions — (1) (1) Balance at December 31, 2020 10 2 12 Provision for expected credit losses on securities with no previous allowance — 1 1 Reductions to previously recognized expected credit losses (2) — (2) Reductions due to sales or redemptions — (2) (2) Balance at December 31, 2021 8 1 9 Provision for expected credit losses on securities with no previous allowance 4 1 5 Reductions to previously recognized expected credit losses (2) — (2) Reductions due to sales or redemptions — (1) (1) Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 10 $ 1 $ 11 (*) Includes mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and other asset-backed securities. In 2022, 2021 and 2020, AFG did not purchase any securities with expected credit losses. The table below sets forth the scheduled maturities of AFG’s available for sale fixed maturities as of December 31, 2022 (dollars in millions). Securities with sinking funds are reported at average maturity. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain securities may be called or prepaid by the issuers.

Certain risks are inherent in fixed maturity securities, including loss upon default, price volatility in reaction to changes in interest rates, and general market factors and risks associated with reinvestment of proceeds due to prepayments or redemptions in a period of declining interest rates. There were no investments in individual issuers that exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2022 or 2021.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives | Derivatives As discussed under “ Derivatives ” in Note A — “Accounting Policies ,” AFG uses derivatives to mitigate certain market risks related to its investment portfolio and deferred compensation obligations to employees. The following table presents the classification of derivative assets and liabilities included in AFG’s Balance Sheet at fair value (in millions): December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Balance Sheet Line Asset Liability Asset Liability Derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges: Interest rate swaps Other liabilities $ — $ 37 $ — $ — Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: MBS with embedded derivatives Fixed maturities 40 — 59 — Total return swap Other liabilities — 5 — — $ 40 $ 42 $ 59 $ — AFG’s interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as highly effective cash flow hedges to mitigate interest rate risk related to certain floating-rate securities included in AFG’s portfolio of fixed maturity securities. The purpose of each of these swaps is to effectively convert a portion of AFG’s floating-rate fixed maturity securities to fixed rates by offsetting the variability in cash flows attributable to changes in short-term reference rates (LIBOR or SOFR). Under the terms of the swaps, AFG receives fixed-rate interest payments in exchange for variable interest payments based on short-term LIBOR or SOFR. The notional amounts of the interest rate swaps generally decline over each swap’s respective life (the swaps expire between July 2024 and July 2028) in anticipation of the expected decline in AFG’s portfolio of fixed maturity securities with floating interest rates based on short-term LIBOR or SOFR. The total outstanding notional amount of AFG’s interest rate swaps was $1.25 billion at December 31, 2022, all of which were entered into in 2022. In 2022, less than $1 million (net) was reclassified from AOCI to net earnings. A collateral receivable supporting these swaps of $62 million at December 31, 2022 is included in other assets in AFG’s Balance Sheet. The MBS with embedded derivatives consist of primarily interest-only and principal-only MBS. AFG records the change in the fair value of these securities in earnings. These investments are part of AFG’s overall investment strategy and represent a small component of AFG’s overall investment portfolio. AFG is exposed to fair value changes from certain equity and fixed maturity market-based exposures related to its deferred compensation obligations to certain employees. To mitigate this risk, AFG entered into a total return swap in 2022. A collateral receivable supporting this swap of $7 million at December 31, 2022 is included in other assets in AFG’s Balance Sheet. The following table summarizes the gains (losses) included in AFG’s Statement of Earnings for changes in the fair value of derivatives for 2022, 2021 and 2020 (in millions): Non-designated hedges - gains (losses) included in net earnings Qualifying cash flow hedges - gains (losses) reclassified from AOCI to net earnings Statement of Earnings Line 2022 2021 2020 2022 2021 2020 Derivative instruments of continuing operations: Interest rate swaps Net investment income $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — MBS with embedded derivatives Realized gains (losses) on securities (12) (6) (1) — — — Total return swap Other expenses (5) — — — — — Total earnings (losses) of continuing operations $ (17) $ (6) $ (1) $ — $ — $ — Derivative instruments of discontinued operations (*): Interest rate swaps Net earnings from discontinued operations $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 14 $ 40 MBS with embedded derivatives Net earnings from discontinued operations — (1) (2) — — — Fixed-indexed and variable-indexed annuities (embedded derivative) Net earnings from discontinued operations — (222) (283) — — — Equity index call options Net earnings from discontinued operations — 237 223 — — — Equity index put options Net earnings from discontinued operations — 5 3 — — — Reinsurance contract (embedded derivative) Net earnings from discontinued operations — 1 (1) — — — Total earnings (losses) of discontinued operations — 20 (60) — 14 40 Earnings (losses) attributable to shareholders $ (17) $ 14 $ (61) $ — $ 14 $ 40 (*) Earnings (losses) for 2021 are through the May 31, 2021 effective date of the sale of the annuity business. Based on forward interest rate curves at December 31, 2022, management estimates that it will reclassify approximately $20 million of pre-tax net losses on interest rate swaps in AOCI to expense within the next 12 months.

Variable Interest Entity, Primary Beneficiary, Does Not Hold Majority Voting Interest, Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Managed Investment Entities | Managed Investment Entities AFG is the investment manager and it has investments ranging from 7.4% to 100% of the most subordinate debt tranche of fifteen active collateralized loan obligation entities (“CLOs”), which are considered variable interest entities. AFG also owns portions of the senior debt tranches of certain of these CLOs. Upon formation between 2012 and 2022, these entities issued securities in various senior and subordinate classes and invested the proceeds primarily in secured bank loans, which serve as collateral for the debt securities issued by each CLO. None of the collateral was purchased from AFG. AFG’s investments in the subordinate debt tranches of these entities receive residual income from the CLOs only after the CLOs pay expenses (including management fees to AFG) and interest on and returns of capital to senior levels of debt securities. There are no contractual requirements for AFG to provide additional funding for these entities. AFG has not provided and does not intend to provide any financial support to these entities. AFG’s maximum exposure to economic loss on the CLOs that it manages is limited to its investment in those CLOs, which had an aggregate fair value of $115 million (including $82 million invested in the most subordinate tranches and $3 million invested in a temporary warehousing entity) at December 31, 2022. In 2022, AFG formed two new CLOs, which issued $754 million face amount of liabilities (including $48 million face amount purchased by AFG). In 2021, AFG formed one new CLO, which issued $408 million face amount of liabilities (including $14 million face amount purchased by AFG’s continuing operations). In 2020, AFG formed one new CLO, which issued $303 million face amount of liabilities (including $16 million face amount purchased by AFG’s continuing operations). The following table shows a progression of the fair value of AFG's investment in CLO tranches held by continuing operations (in millions): 2022 2021 2020 Balance at beginning of period $ 76 $ 57 $ 48 Purchases 66 21 17 Sales — — (1) Distributions (18) (22) (6) Change in fair value (11) 20 (1) Change in accrued interest (1) — — Balance at end of period (*) $ 112 $ 76 $ 57 (*) Excludes $3 million invested in temporary warehousing entities at December 31, 2022 that were established to provide AFG the ability to form a new CLO when management believes market conditions are favorable. The revenues and expenses of the CLOs are separately identified in AFG’s Statement of Earnings, after the elimination of management fees and earnings attributable to shareholders of AFG as measured by the change in the fair value of AFG’s investments in the CLOs. Selected financial information related to the CLOs is shown below (in millions): Year ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Gains (losses) on change in fair value of assets/liabilities (*): Assets $ (267) $ 69 $ (69) Liabilities 236 (59) 49 Management fees paid to AFG 17 16 15 CLO earnings (losses) attributable to AFG Shareholders: From continuing operations $ (10) $ 20 $ (1) From discontinued annuity operations — 20 (1) Total $ (10) $ 40 $ (2) (*) Included in revenues in AFG’s Statement of Earnings. The aggregate unpaid principal balance of the CLOs’ fixed maturity investments exceeded the fair value of the investments by $339 million and $72 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The aggregate unpaid principal balance of the CLOs’ debt exceeded its carrying value by $413 million and $187 million at those dates. The CLO assets include loans with an aggregate fair value of $4 million at December 31, 2022 and $9 million at December 31, 2021, for which the CLOs are not accruing interest because the loans are in default (aggregate unpaid principal balance of $17 million at December 31, 2022 and $18 million at December 31, 2021). In addition to the CLOs that it manages, AFG had investments in CLOs that are managed by third parties (therefore not consolidated), which are included in available for sale fixed maturity securities and had a fair value of $1.92 billion at December 31, 2022 and $1.64 billion at December 31, 2021. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | LeasesAFG and its subsidiaries lease real estate that is primarily used for office space and, to a lesser extent, equipment under operating lease arrangements. Most of AFG’s real estate leases include an option to extend or renew the lease term at AFG’s option. The operating lease liability includes lease payments related to options to extend or renew the lease term if AFG is reasonably certain of exercising those options. Lease payments are discounted using the implicit discount rate in the lease. If the implicit discount rate for the lease cannot be readily determined, AFG uses an estimate of its incremental secured borrowing rate. AFG did not have any material contracts accounted for as finance or short-term leases at December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Stock Incentive Plans Under AFG’s stock incentive plans, employees of AFG and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive equity awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock awards. At December 31, 2022, there were 2.4 million shares of AFG Common Stock reserved for issuance under AFG’s stock incentive plans. The restricted Common Stock that AFG has granted generally vests over a four-year period. Data relating to grants of restricted stock is presented below: Shares Average Outstanding at January 1, 2022 651,846 $ 106.59 Granted 151,080 $ 133.94 Vested (171,500) $ 111.11 Forfeited (15,559) $ 109.33 Outstanding at December 31, 2022 615,867 $ 111.97 The total fair value of restricted stock that vested during 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $23 million, $28 million and $19 million, respectively. AFG has not granted any stock options since 2015. Options granted in prior years have an exercise price equal to the market price of AFG Common Stock at the date of grant (adjusted for certain special dividends). Options generally became exercisable at the rate of 20% per year commencing one year after grant and expire ten years after the date of grant. Data for stock options issued under AFG’s stock incentive plans is presented below: Shares Average Average Aggregate Outstanding at January 1, 2022 414,745 $ 46.04 Exercised (182,054) $ 39.72 Special dividend adjustment 10,913 n/a Forfeited/Cancelled — $ — Outstanding at December 31, 2022 243,604 $ 44.75 1.4 years $ 23 Options exercisable at December 31, 2022 243,604 $ 44.75 1.4 years $ 23 The total intrinsic value of options exercised during 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $18 million, $88 million and $17 million, respectively. During 2022, 2021 and 2020, AFG received $7 million, $58 million and $14 million, respectively, in cash from the exercise of stock options. The total tax benefit related to the exercises was $3 million, $14 million and $3 million during those years, respectively. Total compensation expense related to stock incentive plans of AFG and its subsidiaries was $19 million for 2022, $16 million for 2021 and $20 million for 2020. AFG’s provision for income tax includes tax benefits of $8 million in 2022, $19 million in 2021 and $9 million in 2020 related to AFG’s stock incentive plans. At December 31, 2022, there was $30 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 2.5 years. At December 31, 2022, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes The following is a reconciliation of income taxes on continuing operations at the statutory rate of 21% to the provision for income taxes as shown in AFG’s Statement of Earnings (dollars in millions): 2022 2021 2020 Amount % of EBT Amount % of EBT Amount % of EBT Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes (“EBT”) $ 1,123 $ 1,335 $ 339 Income taxes at statutory rate $ 236 21 % $ 280 21 % $ 71 21 % Effect of: Change in valuation allowance (9) (1 %) (4) — % (117) (35 %) Employee stock ownership plan dividend paid deduction (8) (1 %) (16) (1 %) (2) (1 %) Tax exempt interest (6) (1 %) (8) (1 %) (10) (3 %) Stock-based compensation (5) — % (13) (1 %) (4) (1 %) Adjustment to prior year taxes (3) — % (1) — % 1 — % Dividend received deduction (2) — % (2) — % (2) (1 %) Tax benefit related to sale of Neon — — % — — % (72) (21 %) Nondeductible expenses 8 1 % 8 1 % 4 1 % Foreign operations 7 1 % — — % 149 44 % Other 7 — % 10 — % 7 3 % Provision for income taxes as shown in the statement of earnings $ 225 20 % $ 254 19 % $ 25 7 % On December 31, 2020, AFG completed the sale of the legal entities that own Neon Underwriting Limited (“Neon”), a United Kingdom-based Lloyd’s insurer (see Note C — “Acquisitions and Sale of Businesses” ), which resulted in a taxable loss for U.S. tax purposes. AFG recorded a $72 million tax benefit associated with this loss in 2020. Approximately $65 million of the $72 million tax benefit reduced current taxes payable while the remaining tax benefit will be received from the carry-back of the tax-basis capital loss to offset capital gains in prior tax years. Due to uncertainty concerning the realization of the deferred tax benefits associated with losses incurred at Neon (and its predecessor), AFG maintained a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets related to the Lloyd’s insurance business. The effect of foreign operations and change in valuation allowance in 2020 in the table above reflect the transfer of the deferred tax assets related to Neon, to the buyer at closing, and the corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. Excluding the impact of the $72 million tax benefit on the sale and other impacts of Neon in 2020, AFG’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020, was 28%. In August 2022, the United States federal government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) which, among other things, created a new corporate alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) based on the earnings that a company reports in its financial statements and imposes a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases. The effective date of the IRA is January 1, 2023, and the August 2022 enactment did not have an immediate impact on AFG’s financial statements. Due to the lack of specific guidance at this time, AFG cannot determine whether it will be subject to the new AMT. Any AMT incurred would be available to offset AFG’s taxes payable under the standard calculation in future periods. Accordingly, the AMT is a timing difference and would result in the recording of an offsetting deferred tax asset with no impact on overall income tax expense. The excise tax on stock repurchases would be recorded as part of the cost of the repurchases directly in shareholders’ equity. Since almost all of AFG’s earnings are taxable based on U.S. tax rates, the Global Intangible Low-taxed Income (“GILTI”) provision is not expected to be material to AFG’s results of operations and will be recorded in the period that any tax arises. AFG’s 2013 — 2022 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS. Total earnings before income taxes include earnings subject to tax in foreign jurisdictions of $64 million in 2022 and $33 million in 2021 and losses subject to tax in foreign jurisdictions of $131 million in 2020. The losses in 2020 are primarily related to Neon. The total income tax provision of continuing operations consists of (in millions): 2022 2021 2020 Current taxes: Federal $ 192 $ 162 $ 46 State 10 7 4 Foreign 1 1 3 Deferred taxes: Federal 22 84 (28) Provision for income taxes $ 225 $ 254 $ 25 For income tax purposes, AFG and its subsidiaries had the following carryforwards available at December 31, 2022 (in millions): Expiring Amount Operating Loss – U.S. 2023 - 2041 $ 12 Operating Loss – United Kingdom indefinite 36 (*) (*) £30 million Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts recognized for tax purposes. The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities included in AFG’s Balance Sheet at December 31 were as follows (in millions): 2022 2021 Deferred tax assets: Federal net operating loss carryforwards $ 2 $ 12 Foreign underwriting losses 10 9 Insurance claims and reserves 255 249 Employee benefits 108 112 Other, net 24 26 Total deferred tax assets before valuation allowance 399 408 Valuation allowance against deferred tax assets (16) (25) Total deferred tax assets 383 383 Deferred tax liabilities: Investment securities (52) (200) Deferred policy acquisition costs (66) (61) Insurance claims and reserves transition liability (12) (17) Real estate, property and equipment (23) (29) Total deferred tax liabilities (153) (307) Net deferred tax asset $ 230 $ 76 AFG’s net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2022 and 2021 is included in other assets in AFG’s Balance Sheet. The increase in AFG’s net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 reflects net unrealized losses on fixed maturities at December 31, 2022 compared to net unrealized gains at December 31, 2021 and the decrease in fair value of equity securities. The likelihood of realizing deferred tax assets is reviewed periodically. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considered taxable income in prior carryback years, future taxable income and tax planning strategies that include holding debt securities with unrealized losses until recovery. Such tax planning strategies are viewed by management as prudent and feasible and will be implemented if necessary to realize the deferred tax asset. Any adjustments required to the valuation allowance are made in the period during which developments requiring an adjustment become known. AFG’s $43 million of net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) subject to the separate return limitation year (“SRLY”) tax rules expired unutilized at December 31, 2022. Since AFG maintains a full valuation allowance against its SRLY NOLs, the expiration of these loss carryforwards was offset by corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance and had no overall impact on AFG’s income tax expense or results of operations. At both December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there are unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties of less than $1 million that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. AFG’s provision for income taxes in both 2022 and 2021 included interest expense of less than $1 million related to unrecognized tax benefits. There is no interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits included in AFG’s provision for income taxes in 2020. There were liabilities of less than $1 million for interest related to unrecognized tax benefits at both December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. There were no penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits included in AFG’s provision for income taxes in 2022, 2021 or 2020. There is no liability for penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Cash payments for income taxes, net of refunds, were $242 million, $212 million and $179 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. |

Contingencies | ContingenciesEstablishing property and casualty insurance reserves for claims related to environmental exposures, asbestos and other mass tort claims is subject to uncertainties that are significantly greater than those presented by other types of claims. For this group of claims, traditional actuarial techniques that rely on historical loss development trends cannot be used and a range of reasonably possible losses cannot be estimated. Accruals (included in other liabilities AFG completed in-depth internal reviews of its asbestos and environmental (“A&E”) reserves in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021. These reviews did not identify any new trends compared to the most recent external study and resulted in immaterial adjustments to AFG’s A&E reserves. AFG completed a comprehensive external study of its A&E exposures in the third quarter of 2020 with the aid of specialty actuarial, engineering and consulting firms and outside counsel. The study resulted in special A&E charges of $47 million for the property and casualty group and $21 million for the former railroad and manufacturing operations. The property and casualty group’s liability for A&E reserves was $525 million at December 31, 2022; related recoverables from reinsurers (net of allowances for doubtful accounts) at that date were $140 million. At December 31, 2022, American Premier and its subsidiaries had liabilities for environmental and personal injury claims and other contingencies aggregating $89 million. The environmental claims consist of a number of proceedings and claims seeking to impose responsibility for hazardous waste remediation costs related to certain sites formerly owned or operated by the railroad and manufacturing operations. Remediation costs are difficult to estimate for a number of reasons, including the number and financial resources of other potentially responsible parties, the range of costs for remediation alternatives, changing technology and the time period over which these matters develop. The personal injury claims and other contingencies include pending and expected claims, primarily by former employees of PCTC, for injury or disease allegedly caused by exposure to excessive noise, asbestos or other substances in the workplace and other labor disputes. At December 31, 2022, GAFRI had a liability of $7 million for environmental costs and certain other matters associated with the sales of its former manufacturing operations. While management believes AFG has recorded adequate reserves for the items discussed above, the outcome is uncertain and could result in liabilities that may vary from amounts AFG has currently recorded. Such amounts could have a material effect on AFG’s future results of operations and financial condition. In addition, AFG and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation from time to time, generally arising in the ordinary course of business. This litigation may include, but is not limited to, general commercial disputes, lawsuits brought by policyholders, employment matters, reinsurance collection matters and actions challenging certain business practices of insurance subsidiaries. None of these matters are expected to have a material adverse impact on AFG’s results of operations or financial condition. |

Insurance | Insurance Cash and securities owned by U.S.-based insurance subsidiaries, having a carrying value of approximately $1.12 billion at December 31, 2022, were on deposit as required by regulatory authorities. Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves Estimating the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) is inherently judgmental and is influenced by factors that are subject to significant variation. Determining the liability is a complex process incorporating input from many areas of the Company including actuarial, underwriting, pricing, claims and operations management. The process used to determine the total reserve for liabilities involves estimating the ultimate incurred losses and LAE, adjusted for amounts already paid on the claims. The IBNR reserve is derived by first estimating the ultimate unpaid reserve liability and subtracting case reserves for loss and LAE. In determining management’s best estimate of the ultimate liability, management (with the assistance of Company actuaries) considers items such as the effect of inflation on medical, hospitalization, material, repair and replacement costs, the nature and maturity of lines of insurance, general economic trends and the legal environment. In addition, historical trends adjusted for changes in underwriting standards, policy provisions, product mix and other factors are analyzed using actuarial reserve development techniques. Weighing all of the factors, the management team determines a single or “point” estimate that it records as its best estimate of the ultimate liability. Ranges of loss reserves are not developed by Company actuaries. This reserve analysis and review is completed each quarter and for almost every business within AFG’s property and casualty insurance sub-segments. Each quarterly review includes in-depth analysis of several hundred subdivisions of the business, employing multiple actuarial techniques. For each subdivision, actuaries use informed, professional judgment to adjust these techniques as necessary to respond to specific conditions in the data or within the business. Some of the standard actuarial methods employed for the quarterly reserve analysis may include (but may not be limited to): • Case Incurred Development Method • Paid Development Method • Bornhuetter-Ferguson Method • Incremental Paid LAE to Paid Loss Methods Each method has particular strengths and weaknesses and no single estimation method is most accurate in all situations. When applied to a particular group of claims, the relative strengths and weaknesses of each method can change over time based on the facts and circumstances. Ultimately, the estimation methods chosen are those which the actuary believes produce the most reliable indication for the particular liabilities under review. The period of time from the event triggering a claim through the settlement of the liability is referred to as the “tail”. Generally, the same actuarial methods are considered for both short-tail and long-tail lines of business because most of them work properly for both. The methods are designed to incorporate the effects of the differing length of time to settle particular claims. For nearly all lines of business, the actuaries rely heavily on the Bornhuetter-Ferguson method for more recent accident periods. As accident years mature and the underlying claim data becomes more credible, more weight is given to the Case Incurred and Paid Development methods. This transition occurs relatively quickly for short-tailed lines, and over a number of years for long-tail lines. Liability claims for long-tail lines are more susceptible to litigation and can be significantly affected by changing contract interpretation and the legal environment. Therefore, the estimation of loss reserves for these classes is more complex and subject to a higher degree of variability. The level of detail in which data is analyzed varies among the different lines of business. Data is generally analyzed by major product or by coverage within product, using countrywide data; however, in some situations, data may be reviewed by state or region. Appropriate segmentation of the data is determined based on data credibility, homogeneity of development patterns, mix of business, and other actuarial considerations. Supplementary statistical information is also reviewed to determine which methods are most appropriate to use or if adjustments are needed to particular methods. Such information includes: • Open and closed claim counts • Average case reserves and average incurred on open claims • Closure rates and statistics related to closed and open claim percentages • Average closed claim severity • Ultimate claim severity • Reported loss ratios • Projected ultimate loss ratios • Loss payment patterns Within each business, results of individual methods are reviewed, supplementary statistical information is analyzed, and data from underwriting, operating and claim management are considered in deriving management’s best estimate of the ultimate liability. This estimate may be the result of one method, a weighted average of several methods, or a judgmental selection as the management team determines is appropriate. The liability for losses and LAE for a very limited number of claims with long-term scheduled payments under certain workers’ compensation policies has been discounted at 3.5% at both December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, which represents an approximation of long-term investment yields. Because of the limited amount of claims involved, the net impact of discounting did not materially impact AFG’s total liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (net reductions from discounting of $9 million and $8 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively). The following table provides an analysis of changes in the liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses over the past three years (in millions): 2022 2021 2020 Balance at beginning of period $ 11,074 $ 10,392 $ 10,232 Less reinsurance recoverables, net of allowance 3,419 3,117 3,024 Net liability at beginning of period 7,655 7,275 7,208 Provision for losses and LAE occurring in the current year 3,914 3,436 3,398 Net increase (decrease) in the provision for claims of prior years: Special A&E charges — — 47 Neon exited lines — — 19 Other (285) (279) (193) Total losses and LAE incurred 3,629 3,157 3,271 Payments for losses and LAE of: Current year (1,212) (1,024) (990) Prior years (1,870) (1,753) (1,766) Total payments (3,082) (2,777) (2,756) Reserves of businesses disposed (*) — — (449) Foreign currency translation and other 5 — 1 Net liability at end of period 8,207 7,655 7,275 Add back reinsurance recoverables, net of allowance 3,767 3,419 3,117 Gross unpaid losses and LAE included in the balance sheet $ 11,974 $ 11,074 $ 10,392 (*) Reflects the December 31, 2020 sale of Neon (see Note C — “Acquisitions and Sale of Businesses” ). The 2021 and 2020 provision for losses and LAE occurring in the current year includes $16 million and $115 million (including $20 million recorded by the Neon exited lines), respectively, of COVID-19 related losses. In addition, the net decrease in the provision for losses and LAE includes favorable development of $19 million in both 2022 and 2021 related to COVID-19 related losses. The net decrease in the provision for claims of prior years in 2022 reflects (i) lower than anticipated losses in the crop business, lower than expected claim frequency in the trucking and ocean marine businesses and in the Singapore operations, lower than expected claim frequency and severity in the aviation business and lower than anticipated claim severity in the property and inland marine business (within the Property and transportation sub-segment), (ii) lower than anticipated claim severity in the workers’ compensation businesses and lower than expected claim frequency in the executive liability and excess and surplus businesses (within the Specialty casualty sub-segment) and (iii) lower than anticipated claim frequency in the surety, trade credit and financial institutions businesses (within the Specialty financial sub-segment). This favorable development was partially offset by (i) higher than anticipated claim severity in the general liability, umbrella and excess liability and certain targeted markets businesses (within the Specialty casualty sub-segment) and (ii) net adverse development associated with AFG’s internal reinsurance program (within Other specialty), primarily related to social inflation exposed business assumed from the Specialty casualty sub-segment. The net decrease in the provision for claims of prior years in 2021 reflects (i) lower than anticipated claim frequency and severity in the transportation businesses, lower than expected losses in the crop business, lower than expected claim severity in the ocean marine business and lower than expected claim frequency in the aviation business (within the Property and transportation sub-segment), (ii) lower than anticipated claim severity in the workers’ compensation businesses (within the Specialty casualty sub-segment) and (iii) lower than anticipated claim frequency in the surety and trade credit businesses and lower than expected claim frequency and severity in the financial institutions business (within the Specialty financial sub-segment). This favorable development was partially offset by higher than anticipated claim severity in the general liability and targeted markets businesses (within the Specialty casualty sub-segment) and (ii) net adverse development associated with AFG’s internal reinsurance program (within Other specialty). The net decrease in the provision for claims of prior years in 2020 reflects (i) lower than expected claim frequency and severity in the aviation, transportation and agricultural businesses (within the Property and transportation sub-segment), (ii) lower than anticipated claim severity in the workers’ compensation businesses and lower than anticipated claim frequency in the executive liability business (within the Specialty casualty sub-segment) and (iii) lower than anticipated claim frequency in the trade credit business and lower than anticipated claim frequency and severity in the financial institutions, fidelity and surety businesses (within the Specialty financial sub-segment). This favorable development was partially offset by (i) the $47 million special charge to increase asbestos and environmental reserves and adverse reserve development of $19 million on Neon’s exited lines of business, (ii) higher than expected claim frequency and severity in general liability contractor claims and the excess and surplus and excess liability businesses and higher than anticipated claim severity in the targeted markets businesses (within the Specialty casualty sub-segment), (iii) net adverse development associated with AFG’s internal reinsurance program (within Other specialty) and (iv) net adverse reserve development related to business outside the Specialty group that AFG no longer writes.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs Included in property and casualty insurance commissions and other underwriting expenses in AFG’s Statement of Earnings is amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs of $641 million, $580 million, and $615 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Statutory Information AFG’s U.S.-based insurance subsidiaries are required to file financial statements with state insurance regulatory authorities prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or permitted by such authorities (statutory basis). Net earnings and capital and surplus on a statutory basis for the insurance subsidiaries were as follows (in millions): Net Earnings Capital and Surplus 2022 2021 2020 2022 2021 Property and casualty companies $ 912 $ 1,007 $ 481 $ 4,356 $ 4,221 The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) model law for risk-based capital (“RBC”) applies to property and casualty insurance companies. RBC formulas determine the amount of capital that an insurance company needs so that it has an acceptable expectation of not becoming financially impaired. Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are subject to regulatory action. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the capital ratios of all AFG insurance companies substantially exceeded the RBC requirements. AFG’s insurance companies did not use any prescribed or permitted statutory accounting practices that differed from the NAIC statutory accounting practices at December 31, 2022 or 2021. Payments of dividends by AFG’s insurance companies are subject to various state laws that limit the amount of dividends that can be paid. Under applicable restrictions, the maximum amount of dividends available to AFG in 2023 from its insurance subsidiaries without seeking regulatory approval is $887 million. Additional amounts of dividends require regulatory approval. Holding Company Dividends AFG declared and paid common stock dividends to shareholders totaling $1.22 billion, $2.38 billion and $336 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Currently, there are no regulatory restrictions on AFG’s retained earnings or net earnings that materially impact its ability to pay dividends. Based on shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2022, AFG could pay dividends of approximately $1 billion without violating its most restrictive debt covenant. However, the payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of AFG’s Board of Directors and will be dependent on many factors including AFG’s financial condition and results of operations, the capital requirements of its insurance subsidiaries, and rating agency commitments. Reinsurance In the normal course of business, AFG cedes reinsurance to other companies to diversify risk and limit maximum loss arising from large claims. However, AFG remains liable to its insureds regardless of whether a reinsurer is able to meet its obligations. The following table shows (in millions) (i) amounts deducted from property and casualty written and earned premiums in connection with reinsurance ceded, (ii) written and earned premiums included in income for reinsurance assumed and (iii) reinsurance recoveries, which represent ceded losses and loss adjustment expenses. 2022 2021 2020 Direct premiums written $ 8,774 $ 7,700 $ 6,862 Reinsurance assumed 283 246 225 Reinsurance ceded (2,851) (2,373) (2,074) Net written premiums $ 6,206 $ 5,573 $ 5,013 Direct premiums earned $ 8,582 $ 7,462 $ 6,846 Reinsurance assumed 274 249 237 Reinsurance ceded (2,771) (2,307) (1,984) Net earned premiums $ 6,085 $ 5,404 $ 5,099 Reinsurance recoveries $ 2,065 $ 1,478 $ 1,522 AFG maintains supplemental fully collateralized reinsurance coverage up to 94% of $325 million for catastrophe losses in excess of $125 million of traditional catastrophe reinsurance through a catastrophe bond. AFG’s cost for this coverage is approximately $16 million per year. Recoveries from the catastrophe bond apply before calculating losses recoverable from this catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance. Recoverables from Reinsurers and Premiums Receivable See Note A — “Accounting Policies — Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” for a discussion of guidance effective January 1, 2020, which impacted the accounting for expected credit losses of recoverables from reinsurers and premiums receivable.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Financial Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“AFG”). Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years to conform to the current year’s presentation, including reclassifying the earnings of the Annuity subsidiaries sold in May 2021 to net earnings from discontinued operations. See Note B — “Discontinued Operations.” All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations of companies since their formation or acquisition are included in the consolidated financial statements. Events or transactions occurring subsequent to December 31, 2022, and prior to the filing of this Form 10-K, have been evaluated for potential recognition or disclosure herein. Unless otherwise stated, the information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements relates to AFG’s continuing operations. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Changes in circumstances could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimates. |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations Disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift and that have a major effect on a reporting entity’s operations and financial results are reported as discontinued operations. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standards establish a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (“inputs”) are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect AFG’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Other than the purchase price allocation for its acquisition in 2021 ( see Note C — “Acquisitions and Sale of Businesses”) , AFG did not have any material nonrecurring fair value measurements in 2022 or 2021. Accounting standards for measuring fair value are based on inputs used in estimating fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (markets in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis). AFG’s Level 1 financial instruments consist primarily of publicly traded equity securities, highly liquid government bonds for which quoted market prices in active markets are available and short-term investments of managed investment entities. Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets (markets in which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly); and valuations based on other significant inputs that are observable in active markets. AFG’s Level 2 financial instruments include corporate and municipal fixed maturity securities, asset-backed securities (“ABS”), mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), certain non-affiliated common stocks and investments of managed investment entities priced using observable inputs. Level 2 inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, corroborated broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities. When non-binding broker quotes can be corroborated by comparison to similar securities priced using observable inputs, they are classified as Level 2. Level 3 — Valuations derived from market valuation techniques generally consistent with those used to estimate the fair values of Level 2 financial instruments in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable or when the market for a security exhibits significantly less liquidity relative to markets supporting Level 2 fair value measurements. The unobservable inputs may include management’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use based on the best information available at the valuation date. Financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on non-binding broker quotes or internally developed using significant inputs not based on, or corroborated by, observable market information are classified as Level 3. The contingent consideration liability (included in other liabilities in AFG’s Balance Sheet) relates primarily to AFG’s acquisition of Verikai in December 2021 as discussed in Note C — “Acquisitions and Sale of Businesses.” These liabilities are remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date with changes in fair value recognized in net earnings. To estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to the Verikai acquisition ($23 million at December 31, 2022), AFG uses a weighted probability-based income approach which includes significant unobservable inputs and is classified as Level 3. There was no change to the estimated fair value of this liability during 2022. As discussed in Note A — “Accounting Policies — Managed Investment Entities,” AFG has set the carrying value of its CLO liabilities equal to the fair value of the CLO assets (which have more observable fair values) as an alternative to reporting those liabilities at separately measured fair values. As a result, the CLO liabilities are categorized within the fair value hierarchy on the same basis (proportionally) as the related CLO assets. Since the portion of the CLO liabilities allocated to Level 3 is derived from the fair value of the CLO assets, these amounts are excluded from the progression of Level 3 financial instruments. AFG’s management is responsible for the valuation process and uses data from outside sources (including nationally recognized pricing services and broker/dealers) in establishing fair value. AFG’s internal investment professionals are a group of approximately 20 investment professionals whose primary responsibility is to manage AFG’s investment portfolio. These professionals monitor individual investments as well as overall industries and are active in the financial markets on a daily basis. The group is led by AFG’s chief investment officer, who reports directly to one of AFG’s Co-CEOs. Valuation techniques utilized by pricing services and prices obtained from external sources are reviewed by AFG’s internal investment professionals who are familiar with the securities being priced and the markets in which they trade to ensure the fair value determination is representative of an exit price. To validate the appropriateness of the prices obtained, these investment managers consider widely published indices (as benchmarks), recent trades, changes in interest rates, general economic conditions and the credit quality of the specific issuers. In addition, the Company communicates directly with the pricing services regarding the methods and assumptions used in pricing, including verifying, on a test basis, the inputs used by the service to value specific securities. |
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments | Credit Losses on Financial Instruments On January 1, 2020, AFG adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which provides a new loss model for determining credit-related impairments for financial instruments measured at amortized cost (mortgage loans, premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverables) and requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure or pool of exposures. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical information, current information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Expected credit losses, and subsequent increases or decreases in such expected losses, are recorded immediately through net earnings as an allowance that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, with the net carrying value of the financial asset presented on the balance sheet at the amount expected to be collected. At the date of adoption, the impact of adjusting AFG’s existing allowances for uncollectable mortgage loans, premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverables to the allowances calculated under the new guidance resulted in a reduction in the net allowance, which was recorded as the cumulative effect of an accounting change ($7 million increase in retained earnings at January 1, 2020). The updated guidance also amended the other-than-temporary impairment model for available for sale debt securities by requiring the recognition of impairments relating to credit losses through an allowance and limits the amount of credit loss |
Investments | Investments Equity securities other than those accounted for under the equity method are reported at fair value with holding gains and losses generally recorded in realized gains (losses) on securities. However, AFG records holding gains and losses on limited partnerships and similar investments that do not qualify for equity method accounting (and are therefore carried at fair value), and certain other securities classified at purchase as “fair value through net investment income” in net investment income. Fixed maturity securities classified as “available for sale” are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in AFG’s Balance Sheet. Fixed maturity securities classified as “trading” are reported at fair value with changes in unrealized holding gains or losses during the period included in net investment income. Mortgage loans (net of any allowance) are carried primarily at the aggregate unpaid balance. Premiums and discounts on fixed maturity securities are amortized using the effective interest method. Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are amortized over a period based on estimated future principal payments, including prepayments. Prepayment assumptions are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect actual prepayments and changes in expectations. Limited partnerships and similar investments are generally accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, AFG records its share of the earnings or losses of the investee based on when it is reported by the investee in its financial statements rather than in the period in which the investee declares a dividend. AFG’s share of the earnings or losses from equity method investments is generally recorded on a quarter lag due to the timing of the receipt of the investee’s financial statements. AFG’s equity in the earnings (losses) of limited partnerships and similar investments is included in net investment income. Realized gains or losses on the disposal of fixed maturity securities are determined on the specific identification basis. When a decline in the value of an available for sale fixed maturity is considered to be other-than-temporary at the balance sheet date, an allowance for credit losses (impairment), including any write-off of accrued interest, is charged to earnings (included in realized gains (losses) on securities). If management can assert that it does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that it will have to sell it before recovery of its amortized cost basis (net of allowance), then the impairment is separated into two components: (i) the allowance related to credit losses (recorded in earnings) and (ii) the amount related to all other factors (recorded in other comprehensive income). The credit-related portion is measured by comparing a security’s amortized cost to the present value of its current expected cash flows discounted at its effective yield prior to the charge. If management intends to sell an impaired security, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, an impairment is recorded in earnings to reduce the amortized cost (net of allowance) of that security to fair value. See “Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” above for a discussion of new guidance adopted on January 1, 2020. |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of cost of subsidiaries over AFG’s equity in their underlying net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an impairment test at least annually. An entity is not required to complete the quantitative annual goodwill impairment test on a reporting unit if the entity elects to perform a qualitative analysis and determines that it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying amount. |
Reinsurance | Reinsurance Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policies. AFG reports as assets (i) the estimated reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid losses, including an estimate for losses incurred but not reported, and (ii) amounts paid or due to reinsurers applicable to the unexpired terms of policies in force. Payable to reinsurers includes ceded premiums due to reinsurers, as well as ceded premiums retained by AFG under contracts to fund ceded losses as they become due. AFG also assumes reinsurance from other companies. Earnings on reinsurance assumed is recognized based on information received from ceding companies. |
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (''DPAC'') | Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (“DPAC”) Policy acquisition costs (principally commissions, premium taxes and certain underwriting and policy issuance costs) directly related to the successful acquisition or renewal of an insurance contract are deferred. DPAC is limited based upon recoverability without any consideration for anticipated investment income and is charged against income ratably over the terms of the related policies. A premium deficiency is recognized if the sum of expected claims costs, claims adjustment expenses and unamortized acquisition costs exceed the related unearned premiums. A premium deficiency is first recognized by charging any unamortized acquisition costs to expense to the extent required to eliminate the deficiency. If the premium deficiency is greater than unamortized acquisition costs, a liability is accrued for the excess deficiency and reported with unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. |
Managed Investment Entities | Managed Investment Entities A company is considered the primary beneficiary of, and therefore must consolidate, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based primarily on its ability to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact that entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. AFG manages, and has investments in, collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) that are VIEs (see Note H — “Managed Investment Entities” ). AFG has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these CLOs because (i) its role as asset manager gives it the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the CLOs and (ii) through its investment in the CLO debt tranches, it has exposure to CLO losses (limited to the amount AFG invested) and the right to receive CLO benefits that could potentially be significant to the CLOs. Because AFG has no right to use the CLO assets and no obligation to pay the CLO liabilities, the assets and liabilities of the CLOs are shown separately in AFG’s Balance Sheet. AFG has elected the fair value option for reporting on the CLO assets and liabilities to improve the transparency of financial reporting related to the CLOs. The net gain or loss from accounting for the CLO assets and liabilities at fair value is presented separately in AFG’s Statement of Earnings. The fair values of a CLO’s assets may differ from the separately measured fair values of its liabilities even though the CLO liabilities only have recourse to the CLO assets. AFG has set the carrying value of the CLO liabilities equal to the fair value of the CLO assets (which have more observable fair values) as an alternative to reporting those liabilities at a separately measured fair value. CLO earnings attributable to AFG’s shareholders are measured by the change in the fair value of AFG’s investments in the CLOs and management fees earned. At December 31, 2022, assets and liabilities of managed investment entities included $105 million in assets and $102 million in liabilities of temporary warehousing entities that were established to provide AFG the ability to form new CLOs when management believes market conditions are favorable. At closing, all warehoused assets will be transferred to the new CLOs and the liabilities will be repaid. |
Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses | Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses The net liabilities stated for unpaid claims and for expenses of investigation and adjustment of unpaid claims represent management’s best estimate and are based upon (i) the accumulation of case estimates for losses reported prior to the close of the accounting period on direct business written; (ii) estimates received from ceding reinsurers and insurance pools and associations; (iii) estimates of unreported losses (including possible development on known claims) based on past experience; (iv) estimates based on experience of expenses for investigating and adjusting claims; and (v) the current state of the law and coverage litigation. Establishing reserves for asbestos, environmental and other mass tort claims involves considerably more judgment than other types of claims due to, among other things, inconsistent court decisions, an increase in bankruptcy filings as a result of asbestos- related liabilities, novel theories of coverage, and judicial interpretations that often expand theories of recovery and broaden the scope of coverage. Loss reserve liabilities are subject to the impact of changes in claim amounts and frequency and other factors. Changes in estimates of the liabilities for losses and loss adjustment expenses are reflected in the statement of earnings in the period in which determined. Despite the variability inherent in such estimates, management believes that the liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are adequate and reasonable. |
Debt Issuance Costs | Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs related to AFG’s outstanding debt are presented in its Balance Sheet as a direct reduction in the carrying value of long-term debt and are amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method as a component of interest expense. Debt issuance costs related to AFG’s revolving credit facilities are included in other assets in AFG’s Balance Sheet. |
Leases | Leases Leases for terms of longer than one year are recognized as assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases on the balance sheet based on the present value of contractual cash flows. |
Premium Recognition | Premium Recognition Property and casualty premiums are earned generally over the terms of the policies on a pro rata basis. Unearned premiums represent that portion of premiums written, which is applicable to the unexpired terms of policies in force. On reinsurance assumed from other insurance companies or written through various underwriting organizations, unearned premiums are based on information received from such companies and organizations. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is established to reduce total deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recorded in net earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. AFG recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained under examination by the appropriate taxing authority. Interest and penalties on AFG’s reserve for uncertain tax positions are recognized as a component of tax expense. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation All share-based grants are recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over their vesting periods based on their calculated fair value at the date of grant. AFG records excess tax benefits or deficiencies for share-based payments through income tax expense in the statement of earnings. In addition, AFG accounts for forfeitures of awards when they occur. |
Benefit Plans | Benefit Plans AFG provides retirement benefits to qualified employees of participating companies through the AFG 401(k) Retirement and Savings Plan, a defined contribution plan. AFG makes all contributions to the retirement fund portion of the plan and matches a percentage of employee contributions to the savings fund. Company contributions are expensed in the year for which they are declared. AFG and many of its subsidiaries provide health care and life insurance benefits to eligible retirees. AFG also provides postemployment benefits to former or inactive employees (primarily those on disability) who were not deemed retired under other company plans. The projected future cost of providing these benefits is expensed over the period employees earn such benefits. |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Although basic earnings per share only considers shares of common stock outstanding during the period, the calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the following adjustments to weighted average common shares related to stock-based compensation plans: 2022 – 0.2 million, 2021 – 0.5 million and 2020 – 0.5 million. There were no anti-dilutive potential common shares related to stock compensation plans or adjustments to net earnings attributable to shareholders in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 or 2020. |
Statement of Cash Flows | Statement of Cash Flows For cash flow purposes, “investing activities” are defined as making and collecting loans and acquiring and disposing of debt or equity instruments, property and equipment and businesses. “Financing activities” include obtaining resources from owners and providing them with a return on their investments, borrowing money and repaying amounts borrowed. All other activities are considered “operating.” Short-term investments having original |
Segments of Operations | AFG reports its property and casualty insurance business in the following Specialty sub-segments: (i) Property and transportation, which includes physical damage and liability coverage for buses and trucks and other specialty transportation niches, inland and ocean marine, agricultural-related products and other commercial property coverages, (ii) Specialty casualty, which includes primarily excess and surplus, executive and professional liability, general liability, umbrella and excess liability, specialty coverages in targeted markets, customized programs for small to mid-sized businesses and workers’ compensation insurance, and (iii) Specialty financial, which includes risk management insurance programs for lending and leasing institutions (including equipment leasing and collateral and lender-placed mortgage property insurance), fidelity and surety products and trade credit insurance. Premiums and underwriting profit included under Other specialty represent business assumed by AFG’s internal reinsurance program from the operations that make up AFG’s other Specialty sub-segments and amortization of deferred gains on retroactive reinsurance transactions related to the sales of businesses in prior years. AFG’s reportable segments and their components were determined based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, products and services. |
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, Net of Tax ("AOCI") | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, Net of Tax |
Derivatives | Derivatives Derivatives included in AFG’s Balance Sheet are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivatives are included in earnings unless the derivatives are designated and qualify as highly effective cash flow hedges. AFG’s derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP consist primarily of components of certain fixed maturity securities (primarily interest-only and principal-only MBS) and a total return swap related to its deferred compensation obligations to employees. To qualify for hedge accounting, at the inception of a derivative contract, AFG formally documents the relationship between the terms of the hedge and the hedged items and its risk management objective. This documentation includes defining how hedge effectiveness is evaluated at the inception date and over the life of the derivative. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as highly effective cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI and are reclassified into earnings when the variability of the cash flows from the hedged items impacts earnings. When the change in the fair value of a qualifying cash flow hedge is included in earnings, it is included in the same line item in the statement of earnings as the cash flows from the hedged item. AFG uses interest rate swaps that are designated and qualify as highly effective cash flow hedges to mitigate interest rate risk related to certain floating-rate securities. |
