Fair value: not published

For insurers, premiums and claims reserves (the float) drive the cash flows, so free cash flow doesn't measure what owners earn — and TacticScale's fair value is built on it, so it doesn't publish a number here.

We show a fair value only when the method is trustworthy. See AIA on TacticScale →
