Dear Investor:
AIG Investments is pleased to announce the reopening of the AIG Japan Small Companies Fund* on Monday 1 December, 2008.
The AIG Japan Small Companies Fund (the ‘Fund’) was closed to new subscriptions in February 2005, following significant investor inflows. This allowed for the protection of the interests of existing investors, and the preservation of the integrity of the investment process.
The recent correction in equity markets has made additional capacity available and has created an opportune time to reopen the Fund for additional investments.
The AIG Japan Small Companies Fund is actively managed with a focus on bottom-up stock selection and its performance is measured against the MSCI Japan Small Cap DTR Net Index.
The Fund continues to be managed using the same investment process by the same team led by Midori Katsumi, CMA, Vice President and Portfolio Manager for Japan Small Cap Equities. The Fund has achieved a successful long-term track record, ranking 1st Quartile over 1, 3 , 5 and 10 years to 30 September 2008 versus its peer group as measured by Morningstar Direct**.
Further information about this Fund, including the Prospectus and most recent Fund Fact Sheet is available at AIG Japan Small Companies Fund or from your local relationship manager.
