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 />
