Interestingly, reported (early 2017) QBE suitor, "Allianz had also been seen as a possible suitor for XL, but a source close to the German company said Allianz was not overly concerned by AXA scooping up XL."

Also of interest, the price paid for XL (US$15 billion) was similar to the amount in media reports last year that linked Allianz with a A$20 billion bid for QBE.
