Investment Strategy<br />

<strong>AIG</strong>’s investment strategies are tailored to the specific business<br />

needs of each operating unit. The investment objectives are driven<br />

by the business model for each of the businesses: General<br />

Insurance, Life Insurance, Retirement Services and Asset Manage-<br />

ment’s Spread-Based Investment business. The primary objectives<br />

are in terms of preservation of capital, growth of surplus and<br />

generation of investment in<strong>com</strong>e to support the insurance<br />

products. At the local operating unit level, the strategies are<br />

based on considerations that include the local market, liability<br />

duration and cash flow characteristics, rating agency and regulatory<br />

capital considerations, legal investment limitations, tax<br />

optimization and diversification. In addition to local risk manage-<br />

ment considerations, <strong>AIG</strong>’s corporate risk management guidelines<br />

impose limitations on concentrations to promote diversification by<br />

industry, asset class and geographic sector.<br />
