BlackRock to manage up to $150 billion in AIG portfolios
The giant fund manager will oversee liquid fixed-income and private placement assets for the insurance company.
American International Group has arranged for BlackRock Inc. to manage up to $60 billion of AIG’s global investment portfolio and up to $90 billion of its life and retirement investment portfolio. The arrangement involves certain liquid fixed income and private placement assets.
In addition, BlackRock’s Aladdin platform will provide investment management technology.

AIG announced last year that it planned to spin off its life and retirement unit.
