Industry Context

AIG operates in the global insurance industry. Key market trends affecting the business include:

  • Deterioration of economic conditions, geopolitical tensions, changes in market conditions or weakening in global capital markets
  • Changes in interest rates
  • The effects of natural and man-made catastrophic events
  • Increasing scrutiny and evolving expectations from investors, customers, regulators, policymakers and other stakeholders regarding environmental, social and governance matters

AIG faces intense competition in each of its business lines. The company competes with other large multinational insurance organizations, as well as banks, investment banks and other nonbank financial institutions.

Risk Factors

  • Market Risks: Deterioration of economic conditions, geopolitical tensions, changes in market conditions or weakening in global capital markets may materially affect our businesses, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Changes in interest rates have materially and adversely affected and may continue to materially and adversely affect our profitability.
  • Reserves and Exposures: The amount and timing of insurance and reinsurance liability claims are difficult to predict and such claims may exceed the related liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses or future policy benefits, or the liabilities associated with certain guaranteed benefits and indexed features accounted for as embedded derivatives at fair value. Reinsurance may be unavailable or too expensive relative to its benefit, and may not be adequate to protect us against losses. Our consolidated results of operations, liquidity, financial condition and ratings are subject to the effects of natural and man-made catastrophic events as well as mass torts. Climate change may adversely affect our business and financial condition.
  • Investment Portfolio and Concentration of Investments: Our investment portfolio is concentrated in certain segments of the economy, and the performance and value of our investment portfolio are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. We rely on investment management and advisory arrangements with third-party investment managers for the majority of our investment portfolio. Our valuation of investments and derivatives involves the application of methodologies and assumptions to derive estimates, which may differ from actual experience and could result in changes to investment valuations that may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity or lead to volatility in our net income.
  • Liquidity, Capital and Credit: AIG Parent's ability to access funds from our subsidiaries is limited, and our sources of liquidity may be insufficient to meet our needs, including providing capital that may be required by our subsidiaries. We may not be able to generate cash to meet our needs due to the illiquidity of some of our investments. A downgrade by one or more of the rating agencies in the Insurer Financial Strength ratings of our insurance companies could limit their ability to write or prevent them from writing new business and impair their retention of customers and in-force business, and a downgrade in our credit ratings could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
  • Business and Operations: No assurances can be given that the separation of our Life and Retirement business will be completed or as to the specific terms or timing thereof. In addition, we may not achieve the expected benefits of the separation and will have continuing equity market exposure to Corebridge until we fully divest our stake. Pricing for our products is subject to our ability to adequately assess risks and estimate related losses. Guarantees within certain of our Life and Retirement products may increase the volatility of our results.
