I am looking for answers to this myself, AIG annuities is a subsidy of AIG and should be insulated from the credit concerns of the parent company, however NY state's actions of allowing AIG to use policy holder's account as collateral clouds the issue. Aig personnel are not able to answer this question either, this unpercedented situation is unfolding so quickly, they have not been briefed. They did advise however that the principal is guaranteed but with 20 years of interest in the account that is little comfort. What can you do? by the time you are able to transfer the funds out it will be a moot issue, they will either have been bailed out or in bankruptcy.
not safe at all. if AIG folds or goes under, you wake up one morning and the company is closed lie ENRON, and WorldCom. then you lose all your money.
It is as safe as AIG is. No fixed annuity has ever lost any money, but bottom line, AIG backs the fixed annuity

Depending on the state of issue, an AIG annuity contract is likely guaranteed by a Life & Health Insurance Guarantee Association. For more information, see http://www.nolhga.com/. If you have concerns about your personal annuity, contact your state's department of insurance.
We've been dealing with WNL for nearly 30 years and cannot get an answer. Our only guess is Who would want to invest with AIG right now? We were never notified that AIG bought them out! Will update if we can get an answer out of them.
Go to the personnel office.
I have a claim on a car insurance policy with AIG. What are the chances of this claim being met?
Usually it is backed by the financial strength of the issuing insuance company. Answer 2 But more usually government bonds are bought to cover the payments to be made by the insurer. This guarantees (as far as one can guarantee anything) that the annuity payments are safe. The financial strength of the insurer is a very vague measurement - who'd have thought that an insurer like AIG (massive financial strength?) would go under.
