Ryan Krueger
Managing Director of Equity Research
Good afternoon, everyone. I’m Ryan Krueger, life insurance analyst at KBW. Final fireside of the conference. Save the best for the last. We got with F&G is up with me, Chris Blunt, to my — in the middle, CEO; and Conor Murphy, President and CFO. To start, certainly been a busy year for F&G between capital raising, a new reinsurance partnership. You’ve taken some expense actions. Conor joined as CFO and now President as well. So hoping to just start by providing an update on F&G and how the company is positioned moving forward from here.
Christopher Blunt
CEO & Director
Yes. Great. So obviously, yes, there’s been a lot going on. Family members are like, wow, you have a press release every 2 days. I’ll start with Conor. Obviously, a great addition to the team. We had an opportunity. We had met previously at various industry functions, but we knew we would likely have some senior retirements coming up and had an opportunity to grab an athlete, and I think it’s been fantastic. It feels like you’ve been on board for a very long period of time, even though it’s been pretty short and pretty eventful. So yes, very excited to have him, not only a great toolkit, but I think more importantly for us, we’re very protective of our culture, and I think it’s been just a fantastic cultural fit for us.
Yes, I’ll touch on the sidecar. Obviously, that’s a big deal. I think it’s a bigger deal than investors
