Carl Lindner III, co-chief executive officer of American Financial Group, discussed the company's fourth-quarter 2019 results in a February 2020 earnings call. He noted stable loss ratio trends across most businesses, with average renewal rate increases of a little over 3% for the year, and mentioned that the company held approximately $200 million to $300 million in "dry powder" to maintain flexibility for capital deployment opportunities. He also addressed the performance of the company's Singapore operations, stating that the business had been taking double-digit rate increases and was being refocused, with hopes of moving it toward desired returns in 2020. In March 2019, Lindner gave several interviews ahead of FC Cincinnati's Major League Soccer home opener, discussing the team's journey and his motivations. He described soccer as a "great uniter" in the Cincinnati community, regardless of political affiliation or financial status, and said he hoped to run the team as a good business while bringing a legacy to the city. He acknowledged that the stadium approval process in the West End was sometimes "hurtful," feeling that his family had given much to Cincinnati and at times did not feel appreciated. Lindner also spoke about the role of faith in his life, saying it helps him focus on others rather than being self-centered, and credited his mother for influencing his faith. He praised his brother Craig's work with the Lindner Center of Hope and expressed pride in his family's community investments.
