- (p13) – Chairman Sean DUFFY (R-WI). And I wanted to look forward to legislative fixes, but before I do that I do want to take a look back. And Mr. Schwarcz had mentioned AIG.
  - But maybe I will go to Ms. Wade first.
    - When you look at AIG and the insurance aspect of AIG versus the holding aspect of AIG, did the insurance portion of AIG fail that was supervised by the- this-under our State insurance model?
    - Or did the holding company with financial products fail?
    - Do you know the answer to that?
- Katharine WADE (Insurance Commissioner – CT). It was the holding company related to the financial products.
  - So the Office of Thrift Supervision was the consolidated regulator for-for AIG at the time.
  - The States had identified this- the securities lending issues and were winding those down. It was the result of the derivatives, the financial products, that caused a liquidity crisis that resulted in AIG’s challenges during the financial crisis.
- Chairman DUFFY. So just to repeat again, who was the regulator of the holding company of AIG.?
- Ms. WADE. The Office of Thrift Supervision.
- Chairman DUFFY. Now, are they a State insurance regulator?
- Ms. WADE. No, and in fact State insurance regulators were preempted from addressing the issues that caused the-
- Chairman DUFFY. And so the problems were not on the insurance side that was regulated by the State. Is that correct?
- Ms. WADE. Correct.
