Allstate Corp. agreed to sell Allstate Life Insurance Co. for $2.8 billion to Blackstone Group Inc.

Allstate said it is "deploying capital out of lower growth and return businesses" while continuing its strategy to grow market share in personal property-liability.

ALIC holds about 80%, or $23 billion, of Allstate's life and annuity reserves.
