ZURICH_Zurich Financial Services Group said Thursday it completed a $1.9 billion takeover of two car insurance units that belonged to American International Group Inc.
Zurich said it immediately sold most of the units _ 21st Century Insurance and Agency Auto _ to U.S.-based personal insurer Farmers Exchanges for $1.4 billion.
Zurich doesn't own but manages Farmers Exchanges, meaning the Swiss company will also generate revenue from the car insurance units.
Shares in Zurich Financial were down 1 percent at 192.40 Swiss francs ($177.91).
