Selling on the Secondary Market

AIG Investments has a long and consistent history as an institutional investor in the private equity market. The secondaries investment team has highly differentiated expertise and access to deep resources within both AIG and AIG Investments.

AIG Investments executes creative financial, portfolio and syndication structures, and recently closed the industry’s largest secondary deal executed by a single buyer.

General partners and other institutional investors have chosen to work with AIG Investments for the following reasons:
