History
Great American Financial Resources^®, Inc. (GAFRI), is the annuity and supplemental and life insurance operation of American Financial Group, Inc. (AFG) and part of a larger group of companies with more than a century of experience. We have a strong family heritage that permeates and strengthens our relationships with customers and colleagues.

Deep Roots in a Family Tradition

GAFRI is one chapter of an American success story that began in 1940 when Carl Lindner and his brothers and sister founded United Dairy Farmers in Cincinnati, Ohio. They started in a single storefront selling dairy products and collected $8.66 on their first day. Under Carl Lindner's leadership, this simple beginning has evolved into an enterprise known as American Financial Group, Inc., made up of insurance and financial service companies.

AFG is committed to building value for shareholders, providing quality products and services to customers, and offering a rewarding work environment for employees. AFG is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, (Ticker: AFG). Its principal property and casualty insurance subsidiary is Great American Insurance Company, which has been serving customers for more than 130 years. (You'll find more about this business at Great American Insurance Group.)
