About the author

American National Insurance Company was founded in 1905 by Galveston businessman William Lewis Moody Jr. Over more than a century, it built a broad insurance business with offerings that have included life insurance, annuities, and property-and-casualty coverage.

The company is based in Galveston, Texas, and has been described as operating across all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. That mix of longevity, scale, and a wide product range helped make it a well-known name in the American insurance market.

A major turning point came in May 2022, when Brookfield Reinsurance completed its acquisition of American National in a deal valued at about $5.1 billion. After the acquisition, the company continued under the American National name as part of Brookfield's insurance business.
