IAG Reportedly Eyes Sale of $4 Billion-Plus Insurance Unit Insurance Australia Group Limited (ASX:IAG) is in focus in the financial services industry amid speculation that the ASX-listed company could be positioning a $4 billion-plus division of the business for sale. While IAG has denied it is on offer or it has formally hired an investment bank, sources believe investment bank Barrenjoey is positioning itself for a role selling IAG's intermediated insurance business. This largely consists of its CGU business, which some estimate could be worth between $4 billion and $5.5 billion. Fuelling the speculation is that IAG separated the unit from the overall IAG business last year, and some think that's in preparation for a sale. The logic is that the earnings margins for that business are lower than for other parts of the company, and for earnings to grow, it needs to increase its broker network. Announcement • May 15
