AIG Investments Advantages

• Significant and experienced investor in hedge funds: AIG Investments has been managing its multi-manager strategy for more than 19 years, and since 1988, one or more members of the current Hedge Fund Strategies Group has been primarily responsible for every investment selection.
• Strong alignment of interests: We are currently invested with approximately 80 hedge fund and other managers and manage more than approximately US $9.0 billion in assets, of which 50% are AIG Companies’ assets.
• Buy-side approach: AIG Investments takes a pure buy-side approach to investing and does not own any part of the hedge funds in our portfolio, nor do we have outside relationships with the managers.
• Balanced and controlled decision-making process: Our decision-making relies on the partnerships that exist between our portfolio managers, analysts and the Approval Committees, which are comprised of senior executives of AIG and AIG Investments who contribute a wealth of experience and industry knowledge.
• Access through the AIG companies to global network: The AIG companies’ relationships often allow us to gain rapid and high-level access to senior management in companies which can provide valuable insight and information concerning markets to which hedge fund managers allocate assets. Additionally, we have access to AIG Investments' sophisticated asset management network and can leverage the expertise of our industry specialists within our public equity and fixed income departments.
