I Have always had polite and helpful service from AIG annuity for some 20 years. I am fully assured that they are a separate company fronm the AIG that has made investment errors. I am confident that when my annuity matures in 2014 that the income will be there. I am of the belief that many who lost much in equities are jealous of the annuity investors and try to manipulate them into losing both through penalty sales and through doing the stock market like they have.
