FGL Holdings traces its origins to CF Corp (Nasdaq: CFCO), a blank-check company that completed its initial public offering in 2016 and was co-sponsored by Chinh Chu, founder of CC Capital, and William P. Foley II. The SPAC targeted the financial-services sector and completed its business combination with Fidelity & Guaranty Life, a Des Moines-based life insurance and annuity provider, in November 2017, at which point the combined entity was renamed FGL Holdings and listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker FG. By May 2020, FGL Holdings was in the final stages of its acquisition by Fidelity National Financial, with the transaction closing in June of that year.
