NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Assurant Inc. (NYSE:AIZ), a global provider of risk management solutions, today announced new reportable segments to align with the company’s evolved global operating model resulting from its multi-year transformation.

Starting in the fourth quarter 2016, Assurant will have four reportable segments⁽¹⁾ aligned with the company’s key product and service offerings, including:
