AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.

Investment strategies are assessed at the segment level and involve considerations that include local and general market and economic conditions, duration and cash flow management, risk appetite and volatility constraints, rating agency and regulatory capital considerations, tax, regulatory and legal investment limitations, and, as applicable, environmental, social and governance considerations.

Some of our key investment strategies are as follows:

•Our fundamental strategy across the portfolios is to seek investments with similar duration and cash flow characteristics to the associated insurance liabilities to the extent practicable.

•We seek to purchase investments like Private Assets that offer enhanced yield through illiquidity premiums and other portfolio diversification benefits. These assets typically provide credit protections through covenants and offset custom structures that meet the insurance company needs.

•Given our global presence, we seek investments that provide diversification from investments available in local markets. To the extent we purchase these investments, we generally hedge any currency risk using derivatives, which could provide opportunities to earn higher risk adjusted returns compared to investments in the functional currency.

•AIG Parent, included in Other Operations, actively manages its assets and liabilities, counterparties and duration. AIG Parent’s liquidity sources are held primarily in the form of cash and short-term investments. This strategy allows us to both diversify our sources of liquidity and reduce the cost of maintaining sufficient liquidity.

•Within the U.S., General Insurance investments are generally split between reserve backing and surplus portfolios.

–Insurance reserves are backed mainly by investment grade fixed maturity securities that meet our duration, risk-return, capital, tax, liquidity, credit quality and diversification objectives. We assess asset classes based on their fundamental underlying risk factors, including credit (public and private), commercial real estate and residential real estate, regardless of whether such investments are bonds, loans, or structured products.

–Surplus investments seek to enhance portfolio returns and are generally comprised of a mix of fixed maturity investment grade and below investment grade securities and various alternative asset classes, including private equity and private credit.

•Outside of the U.S., fixed maturity securities held by our insurance companies consist primarily of investment-grade securities generally denominated in the currencies of the countries in which we operate.

•We also utilize derivatives to manage our asset and liability duration as well as currency exposures.

Asset-Liability Management

The investment strategy within the General Insurance companies focuses on growth of surplus, maintenance of sufficient liquidity for unanticipated insurance claims, and preservation of capital. General Insurance invests primarily in fixed maturity securities issued by corporations, municipalities and other governmental agencies; structured securities collateralized by, among other assets, residential and commercial real estate; and commercial mortgage loans. Fixed maturity securities of the General Insurance companies have an average duration of 3.8 years.

While assets backing reserves of the General Insurance companies are primarily invested in conventional liquid fixed maturity securities, we have also continued to allocate a portion of our portfolio to asset classes that offer higher yields through structural and illiquidity premiums, particularly in our North America operations. In addition, we continue to invest in both fixed rate and floating rate asset-backed investments to manage our exposure to potential changes in interest rates and inflation. We seek to diversify the portfolio across asset classes, sectors and issuers to mitigate idiosyncratic portfolio risks.

In addition, a portion of the surplus of General Insurance companies is invested in a diversified portfolio of alternative investments that seek to balance liquidity, volatility and growth of surplus. Although these alternative investments are subject to periodic earnings fluctuations, they have historically achieved yields in excess of the fixed maturity portfolio yields and have provided added diversification to the broader portfolio.

Net Realized Gains and Losses

The following table presents the components of Net realized gains (losses):

*In the year ended December 31, 2025, Other increased primarily as a result of impairments on investments in real estate funds, which were sold on December 23, 2025.

Higher Net realized losses excluding Fortitude Re funds withheld assets in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024 were primarily due to impairments on investments in real estate funds, higher losses on derivative and hedge activity, lower gains on foreign exchange, partially offset by lower losses on fixed income securities compared to the prior year period.

Net realized gains (losses) on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets primarily reflect changes in the valuation of the modified coinsurance and funds withheld assets. Increases in the valuation of these assets result in losses to AIG as the appreciation on the assets under those reinsurance arrangements must be transferred to Fortitude Re. Decreases in valuation of the assets result in gains to AIG as the depreciation on the assets under those reinsurance arrangements must be transferred to Fortitude Re. For additional information on the impact of the funds withheld arrangements with Fortitude Re, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

For additional information on our investment portfolio, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For information regarding AIG's net realized gains and losses for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared with the year ended December 31, 2023, see Part II, Item 7.

Unrealized Gains and Losses on Investments

Net unrealized investment losses included in shareholders’ equity were $1.4 billion at December 31, 2025 compared with $2.9 billion at December 31, 2024. The change in net unrealized gains and losses on investments in the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to a change in the fair value of fixed maturity securities mainly due to lower interest rates and narrowing of credit spreads. The change in net unrealized gains and losses on investments in the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to a change in the fair value of fixed maturity securities mainly due to lower interest rates and narrowing of credit spreads.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had $1.4 billion fixed maturity investments reported at fair value for which fair value was less than 80 percent of amortized cost. At December 31, 2024, the Company had $2.4 billion fixed maturity investments reported at fair value for which fair value was less than 80 percent of amortized cost.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, below investment grade securities comprised 8 percent and 6 percent, respectively, of the fair value of our fixed maturity investment portfolio. Included in below investment grade securities at December 31, 2025 were securities in an unrealized loss position that, in the aggregate, had an amortized cost of $1.9 billion and a fair value of $1.8 billion, resulting in a net pre-tax unrealized investment loss of $86 million.
