- During and, in large part, as a result of our audit, it was later determined that the $1.5 billion estimate used was net of structural benefits of $700 million and a negative basis adjustment of $3.6 billion which was, apparently, not known by ERM or senior management until early February 2008.

- Until 1997, the vast majority of home equity ABS had used bond insurance for credit enhancement. Thus, the bond insurers were the main group of market participants pricing the credit risk on deals backed by sub-prime mortgages. A bond insurer would set its premium (fee) for a given deal based on its analysis of the underlying loans and on the seller/servicer’s track
record. Moreover, a bond insurer would not accept unreasonably risky loans for inclusion in deals that insured.- ⇒ The bond insurers’ willingness to say “no” was a key constraint on the riskiness of loans that originators could make.

- 2008 0408 – Speech – Private Profits and Socialized Risk, by David Einhorn, Greenlight Capital – 10p
- (p5) – When I came up with the title for this discussion, it was before Bear Stearns failed.
- I was going to point out that we were developing a system of very large, highly levered, under-capitalized, financial institutions including the investment banks, some of the large money center banks, the insurance companies with large derivatives books and the GSEs.
- I planned to speculate that regulators believe all of these are too big to fail and would bail them out, if necessary.
- The owners, employees and creditors of these institutions are rewarded when they succeed, but it is all of us, the taxpayers, who are left on the hook if they fail.
- This is called private profits and socialized risk. Heads, I win. Tails, you lose. It is a reverse-Robin Hood system.
- (p8) – On the short side we remain short credit sensitive financials, though not as short as we were a couple months ago.
-
It is hard for me to see how the rating agencies survive this debacle with their franchises intact.
-
When the authorities get beyond the “keeping the fingers in the dike” part of the crisis and shift to figuring out what we need to do to prevent the next crisis, reducing the role of the rating agencies has to be toward the top of the list.
-
Every day that MBIA credit default swaps trade at four digit spreads and the rating agencies insist its insurance subsidiary is AAA undermines rating agency franchise values.
-
Greenlight is short the rating agencies and MBIA.

AIG – Systemic Risk
AIG – Systemic Risk
- (p17) – One of the fears was that if things had gone in another direction and AIG had to be wound up, each one of the state commissioners would have had its own proceedings.
- That was part of what created systemic risk for AIG, where there would be a fragmented series of resolutions and every insolvency official appointed by a commissioner would try and seize AIG assets.

- (p19) – The reason the Federal Government decided to rescue AIG was because of the systemic risk created by Financial Products.
- (p19) – To make matters worse, the counterparties to those swaps included many of the world’s leading financial institutions.
- It was to protect those institutions that the Federal Government acted.

2009 0318 – GOV (House) – American International Group’s Impact On The Global Economy: Before, During, And After Federal Intervention, Federal Aid to AIG Insurance, Regulators Panel (CSPAN), Paul Kanjorski (D-PA) — [BonkNote]
- (p84) – Mr. CAMPBELL (R-CA). Talk about the life insurance subsidiary for a second.
- I know that in your-I believe it was the company’s evaluation of systemic risk, that is where you believe there is a great deal of systemic risk, but there is a lot of counterparty liabilities to other life insurance companies. Is that true?
- Mr. LIDDY. It is in both.
- You know, we insure, on the property casualty side, we insure 94 percent of the Fortune 500 companies.
- So the systemic risk idea is very real in both the property casualty and the life side.
- Systemic risk afflicts all life insurance and investment firms around the world.
- Thus, what happens to AIG has the potential to trigger a cascading set of further failures which cannot be stopped except by extraordinary means. (p2)
- The failure of AIG would cause turmoil in the U.S. economy and global markets, and have multiple and potentially catastrophic unforeseen consequences. (p3)
- The systemic risk is principally centered in the “life insurance” business because it is this subsector that has the greatest variety of investments and obligations that are subject to loss of value of the underlying investments. (p4)
- A significant rise in surrender rates – inspired by consumers’ needs for cash or because of rumored or real failure of insurance companies – could be disastrous.
- Because of widespread loss of liquidity, the industry would struggle to raise adequate cash to meet surrender requests.
- A “run on the bank” in the life and retirement business would have sweeping impacts across the economy in the U.S. In countries around the world with higher savings rates than the U.S., the failure of insurance companies like AIG would be a catastrophe. (p4)
- AIG has written more than 81 million life insurance policies to individuals worldwide – Face value: $1.9 trillion (p9)
- Surrender of insurance policies at above-normal actuarial rates could impair current policyholders as capital, along with state guarantee funds, might be insufficient to pay all policyholder claims. (p9)
- Since life insurance has changed greatly in character over the last two decades – from just a basic provision of death and disability benefits to a vehicle for retirement savings and wealth accumulation – the effects of disrupting the industry are wide ranging and significant. (p21)

- The Citi research piece suggests the could raise $20 billion by selling subs, but this is much less than their true value given distressed markets.
- Citi also notes that the firm could also hedge COO risk with little effect on capital as these positions have been written down to fair value.
- A capital raise now would be highly dilutive given market prices, but I don’t think we can justify access to the window based on the fact that shareholders don’t want diluiton.
- 2008 0913 – FCIC – FRBNY Email re AIG-Board Call – SB-AIG-35647 – 2p
- Medium term plan is to sell approximate $40 billion of high quality assets, largely life insurance subsidiaries in the US and abroad to raise capital/cash needed to fill the hole.
- Such a sale of assets would amount to AIG selling approximately 35 to 40% of the company.
-
(AIG believes that they can make the point that because of the value in the insurance companies, this is truly a liquidity problem overall, not a solvency one.)

Roles – AIG – FCIC
Roles – AIG – FCIC
- Hi folks,
- Just want to reiterate some perspective that we all need to keep in mind.
- 1. We are not involved in AIG from a supervisory perspective (in contrast to LEH where we did have responsibilities as a result of PDCF)
- 2. As a result, we need to be clear that we are NOT holding ourselves out as responsible when we deal with firms and other supervisors.
- 3. Our perspective is on understanding the actions others are taking.
- To that end, we have three key activities:
- 1. We need to understand the exposures of our firms (banks and IBs)
- 2. We need to stay in the information loop, but “low key” our interactions with NYS-Insurance and the UK-FSA. We will have some light-interface with other supervisors (OTS, etc).
- 3. Through Legal, we want to understand how the bankruptcy process will play out.
- We will not be doing things that hold us out as having responsibility, such as holding regulatory coordinating calls, etc.
- We also believe that the private sector is and should be actively working on a resolution, and that based on our earlier dimensioning work that AIG has options (albeit unpleasant) to solve this themselves.
