Our competitive advantages
As a long-term investor without short-term obligations, we focus on creating value for generations ahead.
Our patient capital allows us to invest in less liquid private companies and assets, as well as opportunities that require a longer horizon to reach full potential.
At AIG, our capital is certain—we are not constrained by client redemptions, enabling us to make long-term commitments and strategically invest in our internal capabilities and relationships.
Our investment teams possess deep expertise, allowing us to capitalize on complex market opportunities. We are agile in structuring and negotiating investments, selecting the parts of the capital structure that offer the best risk-adjusted returns. Internal investing further gives us greater control over how our funds are deployed and managed.
AIG maintains partner-level relationships with some of the world’s leading investment managers. We utilize externally managed funds to access co-investment opportunities—particularly in private equity and real estate—and to complement our internal portfolio by gaining exposure to non-core asset classes, including hedge funds and venture capital.
While active in our investments, AIG does not take an activist approach toward portfolio companies. We are purely financial investors who work collaboratively with management teams to create long-term value. We also cultivate strong relationships with co-investors and, where appropriate, may take a more involved role.
