American European Group decided in 2004 to focus on the core business it had established in the northeast; as a result, Kentucky National Insurance stopped issuing and renewing policies, restricting its efforts to servicing and paying claims under existing policies.

A company spokesperson said Kentucky National Insurance, whose base of operations will be in Lexington, will offer auto, homeowners, boat and mobile home coverage and various types of commercial insurance.
