Case ID: 4777 | Stocks | 04/25/2006
A class action has been filed against American International Group, Inc. (AIG) : Shelf-Space Funds (AIG), certain of its officers and directors by stockholders who purchased the company's common stock between June 30, 2000 and June 8, 2005. The action claims that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing a series of material misrepresentations to the market over this time period, thereby artificially inflating the price of the company's securities. The stockholders seek to recover compensatory damages for the loss of value of their stock.
According to a press release dated April 7, 2006, the complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants served as financial advisors who purportedly provided unbiased and honest investment advice to their clients. Unbeknownst to investors, defendants, in clear contravention of their disclosure obligations and fiduciary responsibilities, failed to properly disclose that they had engaged in a scheme to aggressively push AIG Advisor Group sales personnel to steer clients into purchasing Shelf-Space Funds that provided financial incentives and rewards to the AIG Advisor Group and its personnel based on holdings and/or sales. The complaint alleges that defendants' undisclosed sales practices created an insurmountable conflict of interest by providing substantial monetary incentives to sell Shelf-Space Funds, even though such investments were not in the clients' best interest. The AIG Advisor Group's failure to adequately disclose the incentives constituted violations of federal securities laws. The class action lawsuit was filed against American International Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates, on behalf of those who purchased from the AIG Advisor Group funds participating in the AIG Advisor Group revenue sharing programs during the Class Period. During the Class Period, the AIG Advisor Group consisted of the following broker-dealers: Royal Alliance, Inc., SunAmerica Securities, Inc., FSC Securities Corp., Sentra Securities Corporation, Spelman & Co., Inc., and Advantage Capital Corp. The Shelf-Space Funds included the following mutual fund families: AIG SunAmerica, AIM, AllianceBernstein, American, American Skandia, Columbia, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, Hartford, John Hancock, MFS, NationsFunds, Pacific Life, Pioneer, Putnam, Oppenheimer, Scudder, Van Kampen, and WM.
