AIG: Doomed to fail?
As the bailed-out insurer moves to sell off its assets to repay the government, experts say the company will have a hard time surviving as a scaled-down life insurer.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Once a titan in the insurance world, AIG is a shadow of its former self, and experts say the company is likely doomed for failure.
That's partly because AIG (AIG, Fortune 500) is slowly getting rid of its strong, moneymaking businesses as it attempts to pay back the roughly $130 billion it has borrowed on its $182 billion government bailout.
The company had to give up more than it had anticipated to pay back taxpayers because of the horrid credit environment, and analysts believe AIG may be giving up too much for it to survive on its own. Not that there was much choice.
"The plan has been, since the first days of the bailout, to sell off the crown jewels including its investment arm and very strong insurance units, because that's all the market will accept now," said Julie Grandstaff, managing director of StanCorp Investment Advisers. "It was the only way to save the organization, but it's questionable if there will be a freestanding AIG in the end."
