Kathleen | My Mom has her pension and investments in AIG. ? |
What are the chances she will lose all of the money she has worked hard to earn throughout her working life? |

If she has annuities (either fixed or variable) with AIG, she should not worry. These are insurance products and have various guarantees for the cash. There are a number of regulatory agencies that will see that this money is safe.
If she invested in AIG stock, she is in deep trouble. |

Ok there are 2 parts to this question. If the funds are invested through AIG they are safe as they can't be touched by AIG. HOWEVER if they are invested IN AIG your mom will lose money.
When ENRON went under the people lost their pensions because they were invested in Enron stocks. If they had been invested through the company but not in the company stocks they would have been fine.
I hope your mom is invested through AIG and not in AIG. |

I do, as well, and asked my brother what I should do. His answer was this:
Any money you have invested with any of these failing companies belongs to you, not them .. if they were to go bankrupt, their creditors are not allowed to touch their customer's funds and those funds wouldn't be subject to the bankruptcy.
AIG is supposedly next in line for vanishing, but because they sell insurance products, they're governed by laws... they can't just vanish without selling off their policies to another insurer.

Here is a good article at CNN about what happens to your money in the event that your broker goes bankrupt.

I don't know about chances, but guide her through her finances. Yesterday AIG was asking for a few billion to keep the company, re-search on the current status of AIG and make sure that her retirement won't be ruined by some crisis. Let's just hope the 1929 history doesn't repeat itself!
Oh! Actually, ING is currently offering 3.0 for more than $50,000, BUT! if you are a Costco member they have this thing with Capital One that offers 3.7 interest, so if AIG isn't the right place for your moms precious money look into other SAFER choices. |

AIG is an insurer and by law they have to have a large reserve set aside to protect their clients in the event of going belly up. She won't lose everything completely. |
