Liquidity
Dividends from the company's insurance and financial services subsidiaries are the principal source of funding for its top tier operations.

  • Dividends are a sound funding source because the subsidiaries have proven earnings and cash flow records.

In addition, AIG issues commercial paper to fund short-term cash needs, medium term notes to fund its matched investment program (MIP), and long-term debt securities to capitalize subsidiaries and repurchase common stock.

It has established back-up credit facilities with financial institutions to support its liquidity needs should it lose access to the commercial paper facility.

AIG also has access to a $2 billion inter-company line of credit with its insurance subsidiaries.

  • AIG uses funds mainly to service debt obligations, pay dividends to shareholders, allocate capital to subsidiaries, and repurchase outstanding common stock.
