Corebridge Financial Inc, the life insurance and retirement division of AIG Inc, raised $1.68 billion in the largest initial public offering (IPO) of the year on Wednesday, defying market volatility and ending a seven-month hiatus in substantial listings.


AIG (NYSE:AIG) sold 80 million Corebridge shares at $21, below the $21 to $24 target.


$13.6 billion is Corebridge's IPO valuation.


AIG will receive all IPO revenues, and the new business isn't raising capital, according to an SEC filing.


Corebridge's IPO could revive the IPO market. Since February, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and high inflation have caused stock market instability, making corporate listing difficult.


Dealogic, which has collected listing data since 1995, says US IPOs are on track for their worst year in over two decades. Companies have raised over $18 billion this year, compared to $231 billion last year.


Due to market uncertainty, Reddit and ServiceTitan postponed their IPOs this year.


Corebridge's $1.7 billion sale tops TPG Inc.'s $1.1 billion IPO in January.

2022's biggest IPO

AIG said it will spin off its life and retirement unit in 2020, allowing it to focus on its P&C business.


Given their distinct shareholder return profiles, insurers tend to focus on a single product offering. AIG had opposed this trend for years, including a campaign by activist investors in the mid-2010s for a separation.


AIG filed for the Corebridge acquisition in March after selling 10% to Blackstone for $2.2 billion the year before. The listing was delayed due to market instability.


Houston-based AIG offers insurance and retirement options in the U.S.


After the listing, AIG will own approximately 78% of Corebridge's shares, which will trade under the ticker "CRBG" on the NYSE.


JPMorgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley, and Piper Sandler are the IPO's underwriters. Bank of America, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs are also underwriters (NYSE:GS).
