Buenos Aires, 21 June 2022. On June 10th, Seguros Sura S.A., a company belonging to Suramericana S.A., one of the largest Latin American groups in the insurance industry operating in nine countries, sold its surety insurance business unit ACG (Aseguradora de Créditos y Garantías) to Argentine investors Marcelo Figueiras, José Urtubey, and Alberto Serventich, all of them with an extensive and recognized experience in the private sector.
This sale is part of Sura’s strategic decision to strengthen its general and life insurance lines, leaving aside the surety insurance division, and considering multiple investments in the country in the future. Likewise, it represents an important capital injection for the company.
